Notes



* 'No Man's Law' has scenes, including in flashback, of Barbara Kent appearing to dive and swim in the nude, but she is actually wearing a flesh-colored moleskin bathing suit. That footage created a minor scandal at the time, drawing special attention from review boards in various communities throughout the country. In June 1927 in New York City, the entertainment trade publication 'Variety' gave the production an overall favorable rating but predicted trouble for that portion of the film: "Miss Kent looks and acts well. A couple of the almost nude scenes will not stand much chance with the censors out of town."Film review of 'No Man's Law' (cited as [https://archive.org/stream/variety87-1927-06#page/n137/mode/2up 'No Man's Land')], 'Variety', June 27, 1927, 23.
