Production
Dolores del Ro had the luxury of renaming the film adaptation as 'Revenge', as she believed that all of her film successes began with the letter "R" ('Resurrection' (1927), 'Ramona' (1928), and 'The Red Dance' (1928)). While del Rio was in the middle of divorcing Jaime Martnez del Ro in 1926, 'Revenge' was abandoned. She eventually divorced him in 1928. Production resumed on 'Revenge' in June 1928 and was finished filming by August 1928.
