Western Electric disc sound synchronization was used for this, the first feature film made at Paramount's Long Island studio, and audiences found it to be very well done. Maugham's play about a married woman in the Far-Eastern colonies who kills her faithless lover is filled with shades of gray; its non-judgmental author was essentially concerned with presenting the subtleties of the human condition to his audience. From its shock opening--Eagels firing shots into her lover's already lifeless body--to its equally dramatic finale, the film bears the mark of a masterful playwright. (texte officiel du distributeur)
