    • Trivia
      Scenes showing the (European) hero and the (Chinese) heroine kissing were removed by both the American and British censors on the grounds that inter-racial love would be offensive to some viewers. However the German and the French versions kept the kiss.
    • Goofs
      The story takes place in the days of Imperial Russia, but the women's costumes are strictly in the contemporary 1929 mode.
