Production
No Man's Law has scenes, including in flashback, of Barbara Kent appearing to dive and swim in the nude, but she is actually wearing a flesh-colored moleskin bathing suit.[1] That footage created a minor scandal at the time, drawing special attention from review boards in various communities throughout the country.[1] In June 1927 in New York City, the entertainment trade publication Variety gave the production an overall favorable rating but predicted trouble for that portion of the film: "Miss Kent looks and acts well. A couple of the almost nude scenes will not stand much chance with the censors out of town."[2]
The original working title of the film was The Avenging Stallion.[3][4] Filming took place on Hal Roach's Big Horn Ranch in Nevada.[3]
Preservation
Prints of No Man's Law are located in the collections of CINEMATEK, George Eastman Museum Motion Picture Collection, and UCLA Film and Television Archive.[5][6]
