Interesting facts

Production

In 1924, Will H. Hays of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America issued a set of recommendations dubbed "the Formula" which the studios were advised to heed to maintain morality in their film plots. With scenes showing an electric chair and partial female nudity, and its assertion that criminal gangs controlled the state government, the film (and others) showed the recommendations of the Formula could be ignored.
