 Troy Howarth states "An interesting rumor has circulated for years among film enthusiasts that Walter Brennan appears in the film as a circus clown, but this is difficult to confirm with any degree of certainty".The silent version (with Danish title cards) was released by the Criterion Collection on Blu-ray and DVD with Fejos' "Lonesome" in August 2012.The dvd release runs about 59 minutes, so "it seems likely that some significant footage is lost."
