Did You Know?
| Trivia | This is the only film of Anna May Wong's career where she was allowed to kiss a Caucasian man on-screen. She had filmed one for 1929's Piccadilly, but it was deleted from the final cut. The kiss was allowed here because the characters were already established as husband and wife. As a result, it was one of Anna May Wong's personal favorites. See more » |
| Goofs | At the end of the film, the Union Flag is shown in the reversed, or inverted orientation. See more » |
