    • Trivia
      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.
