Director Laurence Trimble initiated a remake of his own 1915 British version of 'My Old Dutch' to feature its star, Florence Turner. Actor James Morrison remembered Trimble telling him that Turner wished to get back into films, and asking him to help in a screen test that he could show to Universal Pictures. "He got a little company togetherthe people who were in it worked for nothing, because we loved Flotieand we did scenes from 'My Old Dutch'," Morrison recalled. Universal approved the project but cast May McAvoy, not Turner, in the starring role.
