Negri was happy working with director Buchowetzki, who had also directed her in Men (1924) and in the German film Sappho (1921), which had been released in the U.S. as Mad Love, as her performances turned out well in his films. Buchowetzki would later direct her once more in the romantic drama film The Crown of Lies (1926).
With no copies of Lily of the Dust located in any film archives, it is a lost film.
