Skinner's daughter, author Cornelia Otis Skinner, plays a small role. This version was released by Robertson-Cole Distributing Company, and was released on VHS by Grapevine Video. In New England the distribution of the film was handled by Joseph P. Kennedy who organized a successful premiere in Boston.
Skinner filmed the play again in a 1930 talkie. The 1930 version is considered lost but its Vitaphone soundtrack survives.
