 For many years, this was a "lost" film. When critic  Pauline Kael (qv) wrote her "New Yorker" article "Raising Kane"  claiming this film heavily influenced the development of  _Citizen Kane (1941)_ (qv), she could only reference it from memory  as prints had not been available for 30 years. When the film was  "rediscovered", it was discovered that Kael had overstated her case:  It was not the example of classic cinema she had claimed it was, and  its influences on "Kane" likely were minimal.
