Trivia

Critically derided during its premier as technically flawed. An all-talkie, it was reported to have a inconsistent sound level between close-ups (in which the actors appeared terrified) and long shots. The players spoke their lines haltingly, apparently trying to catch a swinging boom microphone. See more »
