It premiered in Sweden in September 1928 but was not released in London until January 1929.
It was shot at the Råsunda Studios in Stockholm and on location in the city. The film's sets were designed by the art director Vilhelm Bryde, who also produced the film. It is based on an 1899 play by August Strindberg which had previously been made into a 1919 film Intoxication directed by Ernst Lubitsch.
Maurice is a struggling playwright in Paris, whose lack of success means he and his daughter Marion have to be supported by his wife Jeanne, putting severe strain on the marriage. When Maurice does enjoy a success at last he is lured by the femme fatale actress Henriette who desires a sexual relationship with him. He is brought back to his senses, however, when his daughter Marion disappears.
