Production
[edit]The film attracted publicity in 1920, months before its release, because 160 of the extras in its battle scene filed injury reports with California's State Industrial Commission on September 14, 1920.[3] Reportedly, nine of the participants were hospitalized after being hurt during the filming near Chatsworth, California.
Reception
[edit]In his review for the first incarnation of Life, Robert E. Sherwood called the film "the world's worst movie". Sherwood described the film as "a grotesque hodgepodge about woman's rights through the ages (interminable ages they are, too) with a great deal of ham allegory and cheap religious drool, used to cloud the real motif — which is sex appeal."[4]
Preservation status
[edit]The film is preserved in the EYE Institut collection Filmmuseum, Amsterdam.[5]
