The film scenes were all shot on-site in San Francisco, which truly reflected the personality and psychological characteristics of immigrants from Central Europe in the American social environment at the time, the prejudices and defects of the petty bourgeoisie, and the general desire of Americans to stand out in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The film is steady and simple, using many depth-of-field lenses and ceiling-mounted interior shots.
