'A Forbidden Paradise' was remade in 1945 as 'A Royal Scandal'.
"For the first time since "Passion" (the German verion of "Madame du Barry") was presented at the Capitol, Pola Negri appears in a film directed by Ernst Lubitsch. This new production is launched under the title of "Forbidden Paradise," being based on the stage play "The Czarina," by Lajos Biro and Meynhert Lengyel. The narrative deals with a flirtatious Queen, the autocratic ruler of a mythical Balkan State with a Russion influence. The Rivoli, where this effort is holding forth, was packed to the last seat yesterday afternoon, which fact testifies to the popularity of the Polish actress."
