Julia Faye replaced Jetta Goudal, who was fired after repeatedly clashing with director Cecil B. DeMille.
Cecil B. DeMille and cinematographer Arthur C. Miller clashed so frequently that Miller walked off the production and was replaced by J. Peverell Marley.
When Jetta Goudal signed on to play the gypsy Mariusha, the role was originally written as a straight dramatic character. After the role was rewritten as comedic, Goudal left the film.
Director-producer Cecil B. DeMille considered remaking this film in 1939. The idea was vetoed by the director because he was worried it would be interpreted as too sympathetic to the Bolsheviks.
According to a June 9, 1927, article in the Hollywood Filmograph, Arthur Rankin wore a blond wig in this film.
