This was the first movie in which Leo the MGM lion, roared during the introduction.
This was MGM's first sound picture, and premiered in Hollywood at Sid Grauman's Chinese Theater on Friday, 3 Aug 1928.
This was the first sound film exhibited in Lisbon, Portugal, at Royal Cine, Lisbon's largest cinema then, at a special session attended by the President of the Republic, Óscar Fragoso Carmona and a select audience of VIP politicians and artists from various sectors. The session was preceded by a newsreel from MGM, a documentary about the Lisbon dockyards, and various American and French song numbers.
Because there were no sound facilities in Hollywood, Douglas Shearer took the completed silent film to New Jersey, where he added a synchronized music score and sound effects.
Though the film's credits claim it was shot on location in the Marquesas Islands with 'authentic' islanders, it was actually shot 900 miles away in Tahiti.
