Although

received critical acclaim both inside and outside the film industry for his direction of this film, for many years a story circulated that star

felt that he was too cavalier about the safety of the actors, especially in a scene where she had to carry a baby across some water filled with alligators (Pickford wanted to use a doll, but Beaudine insisted on using a real baby), and even though the alligators jaws were bound shut, Pickford swore that he would never work for her or her company as long as she lived. However, cameraman
Hal Mohr
, who shot this picture, said in an interview that the "alligator incident" never happened. He said that there "wasnt an alligator within ten miles" of Pickford, and that both the alligators and the baby in the film were all dummies because the studio would never have let a star of Pickfords magnitude endanger herself by working with real alligators, let alone allow a baby to go near them. In any case, Beaudine and Pickford did clash on the picture. Beaudine eventually walked off the set and turned the direction over to his assistant, and he and Pickford never worked together again.
