The film was produced by Defa in Germany, with German and French actors, in a French-German co-production, to be later released at the same time in France as Thérèse Raquin and Germany as Du sollst nicht ehebrechen!. As no words were spoken, both versions differed only with the language of intertitles. The British title at the time of the film's original release was Thou Shalt Not. This is last silent film imports distributed by Warner Bros.' newly acquired First National subsidiary. No dialong with music score and sound effects.
