The film was long thought lost before being located in Howard Hughes' film collection after his death. A print was shepherded by Dr. Hart Wegner of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for restoration by Jeffrey Masino, along with two other "lost" Hughes-produced films, The Racket (1928) and The Mating Call (1928), both originally released by Paramount Pictures.
In 2004 and 2006, Turner Classic Movies broadcast all three films, their first showings in decades.
