The film was made in 1920, but only released in France in 1921. For some reason, it was not shown in the US until 1926, where it was released as 'The Man Who Sold His Soul to the Devil'. It was later remade in France in 1943.Workman, Christopher; Howarth, Troy (2016). "Tome of Terror: Horror Films of the Silent Era". Midnight Marquee Press. p. 240..
