TRUTH !!
The film is credited as the first US production to cost $1 million to
produce. Studio head William Fox was so incensed with the cost of production
he removed Director Herbert Brenon's name from the film. However, Brenon
sued to have his name restored to the film's credits, and won.

Great cost was afforded to make a sanitary of mosquito-proofing over a
section of Kingston, Jamaica. Sets consumed 2,500 barrels (400 m3) of
plaster, 500 barrels (79 m3) of cement, 2,000,000 board feet (5,000 m3) of
lumber, and ten tons of paper. Director Herbert Brenon employed 20,000
people during the eight months of production and used 220,000 feet (67,000
m) of film to shoot the picture.
