Production

The film bears a great resemblance to the 1911 story As the Sparks Fly Upward by Cyrus Townsend Brady. The film did not credit Brady, who sued the studio. The film's story also bears resemblance to the 1908 novel The Blue Lagoon by Henry De Vere Stacpoole. The story was also filmed various times under the title The Blue Lagoon, in a 1923 version, a 1949 version starring Jean Simmons, and a 1980 version starring Brooke Shields.

The film proved to be a huge success. Actress Mary Pickford eventually demanded a higher salary from Adolph Zukor as her popularity rose because of this film.
