It was shot in Salem's Pioneer Village and Sherman Oaks, California. It was the only film Colleen Moore ever said she made for the money. She was reportedly preparing to take her dollhouse on tour for charity, and saw the film as an opportunity to make a last film with friends.
Henry B. Walthall played Roger Chillingworth in both this and the 1926 silent version.
The film has been preserved by the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

At last, the father reveals himself, with a letter "A" carved in his chest.
