The movie turned out to be a box office flop. On its initial release it made one million dollars less than it cost to make. It is rarely seen and has only appeared on Turner Classic Movies once.
The ending of the movie had to be changed to get the Hays Seal of Approval. In the original operetta and two movie versions, the Baron and Baroness are happily reunited, but in this version, they divorce and she marries the bandit chieftain. The change was made to avoid the suggestion that the filmmakers were condoning extramarital romance.
