In 1933-1934, the original film aka "Trizhdy prodannaya" (Thrice Sold) was re-edited into shorter 5-reels version by Ukrainfilm studios to follow an order of Goskino. As a result, the title was changed to "Za chto yeyo sudili" (Why She Was Judged) because this shorter version ends right after verdict scenes, so after the court, Tamilla is not for sell third time. This version was first released in 1934, in Moscow.
