Anna May Wong received one of her few starring roles in this blatant rip-off of Madame Butterfly. But the real star is the very early two-color Technicolor process. A good but not great movie in its own right, lifted into special interest by Ms. Wong’s beauty and talent, and its value as an excellent record of a now-dead color process. The print is from a UCLA restoration made from the original negative (rare for a silent film). However, the last reel of The Toll of the Sea  is missing, and the story filled in through new footage and title cards.
