Produced as an all-talkie, it has inventive camera work that contrasts considerably against other, mostly static, musicals of the 1928-30 period. Director Pál Fejös developed a special crane capable of moving the extremely cumbersome camera at 600' per minute.
The first movie lit entirely by tungsten lamps.
The 2-strip Technicolor finale runs 198 feet.
Included among the Supplements on the Criterion Blu-ray of Lonesome (1929).
It is one the first films to introduce a mobile camera and the use of a special crane, built for Universal at a cost of $ 75.000.
