The film was made at Walton Studios by Hepworth Pictures, where Bentley had directed several ambitious Dickens adaptations. The production was considered a lavish spectacle by critics, particularly the restaging on the climatic riots, which involved over 1,500 extras.[2] The sets were designed by the art director Warwick Buckland. The film is now considered lost, although a handful of production stills have survived.
