This is considered to be a lost film. Herbert Wilcox acquired the motion picture rights to Henry De Vere Stacpoole's novel "The Blue Lagoon" from I.W. Schlesinger in 1928 and bought all prints of the film to prevent it from competing with his film. Unfortunately, the Great Depression halted Wilcox's ambitions of bringing "The Blue Lagoon" to the screen. To add insult to injury, the last surviving print was destroyed in a spectacular fire at the British and Dominions Imperial Studios on 9 February 1936, and Wilcox lost faith in the project.
Whilst this picture was being made, Molly Adair met and fell in love with A. J. Siggins, a big game hunter and pioneer. They were married, and Molly gave up film work to accompany her husband on long treks across country and in his many other exploits.
Despite receiving positive reception worldwide, the film failed to generate sufficient income to convince African Film Productions to continue creating feature films. As a result, this occurrence marks the end of South Africa's initial phase of feature film production. To recoup their costs, African Film Productions sold both the film and subsequent screen rights to Herbert Wilcox in 1928.
This is the only silent adaptation of the book.
