The film was shot in San Antonio, Texas. Brackenridge Park doubled as a battlefield at Appomattox.
Martha Mansfield was on the set when her dress caught fire, possibly from a discarded match. She died at a hospital the next day. Most of Mansfield's scenes had been shot, so production of the film continued.
