The IMDb credited cast list is based on the 2005 alternate version. That print's credits, however, may have been modified to include Rosita Marstini and Sidney Franklin, both of whom were omitted in the published cast list in The New York Times review of 29 September 1924.
Debut of actress Marcelle Corday.
Enid Bennett (Marise) was married to this film's director Fred Niblo. His next film would be the immortal epic Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925) - also starring Ramon Novarro.
The quote at the beginning of the film is from the Bible, Psalm 39:4.
The silents films must have a language to be read. Some are English, others are in German, Russia, Japanese and in many languages, they must have another language for the people to understand. I've seen German silents if they are not subtitled in other language only people who understand German would understand the film.
