Dolores del Río had the luxury of renaming the film adaptation as Revenge, as she believed that all of her film successes began with the letter "R" (Resurrection (1927), Ramona (1928), and The Red Dance (1928)).[6] While del Rio was in the middle of divorcing Jaime Martínez del Río in 1926, Revenge was abandoned. She eventually divorced him in 1928.[7] Production resumed on Revenge in June 1928 and was finished filming by August 1928.[8]
Hugo Riesenfeld composed the music for Revenge.[1]
Revenge's cinematographers were Al Green and Robert Kurrle.[1]
Editing of Revenge was done by Jeanne Spencer.[1]
Revenge was released on November 3, 1928, in United States film theatres.[1]
