Interesting facts

The Masked Bride is a lost 1925 American silent romantic drama film directed by Christy Cabanne and starring Mae Murray, Francis X. Bushman, and Basil Rathbone. The film was both produced and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Production

Josef von Sternberg was originally hired to direct the film. After two weeks of filming, he became frustrated with Mae Murray's behavior on the set and ordered the cameramen to film the rafters. He eventually walked out on the picture and was replaced by Christy Cabanne.

Filming began in early August 1925, and a large Parisian cafe set was constructed at the Culver City MGM studios. In the picture, Mae Murray wears a necklace composed of ninety "violet phosphorescent" diamonds, which Moving Picture World claimed was the only one in existence. They also claimed the necklace was insured for $300,000.
