No copy of this film is known to exist and is believed to be lost.
When Australian swimming star Annette Kellerman appeared naked in this film, she actually caused less shock waves than she did in 1911 when she brazenly wore a one-piece bathing costume onto an American beach.
Far from the nudity being seen as "racy", the film was promoted as being suitable for all the family. Indeed, many cinemas organised children's matinées.
The movie cost about $1 million to produce, including "great sums spent to make sanitary a mosquito-cursed section of Jamaica," according to a contemporary report. The sets consumed 2,500 barrels of plaster and 500 of cement, 2 million feet of lumber, and 10 tons of paper. Director Herbert Brenon employed 20,000 people and shot 44 miles of film during 8 months of production.
