The film appears to have been reasonably popular.[3]
It is on the British Film Institute's 75 Most Wanted list of lost films; only a two-and-a-half minute trailer was known to survive at the time.[1] However, a reader notified BFI that a cut-down version titled Be Kind Sergeant was being offered for sale on eBay.[4]
