Production

This was the second to last directorial effort of Svend Gade in the United States before returning to Denmark. At the time of production, several expatriate members of Czarist Russian nobility and military class were living in the Los Angeles area and working as extras in films. Some were recruited to serves as cast members and technical advisors on this film. In a Technicolor insert, running 221 feet, the Weaver of Fate picks out multicolored cords and plays tricks with them. The red cord represents the girl and the brown cord represents the boy.
