Trivia

The only known film print is a 35mm print in the Library Of Congress, which unfortunately is missing Chapter 9. The LOC has screened this at their Mary Pickford Theater in Washington, DC. They show it split over two nights - 140 minutes per night. The total running time would be 300 minutes if Chapter 9 were included. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: It is first stated that the secret symbols are tattooed onto Prof. Stanhope's right arm, but after he is knocked-out for surgery, the symbols are on his left arm. See more »
