It was only the fourth feature to be shot all in color and Fairbanks was unsure of the process, so shot with a second black-and-white camera next to the color one. Both color and black and white prints were made.

- The color version,
- The silent black and white version,
- The "talkie" black and white version, with most intertitles removed and a narrator and sound effects added. -
