Natacha Rambova (the credits spell her name wrong) worked with Nazimova previously on Billions, but wasn't given credit for it and only proved she had worked on it to Nazimova after the production by showing her original sketches. Nazzy was so impressed she wanted to work with Rambova again and hired her for Aphrodite (1921) before this film and several later films. They became close friends and collaborators and Rambova ended up marrying Valentino after meeting him on the set of this film.
