In her autobiography The Movies, Mr.Griffith and Me, actress Lillian Gish writes that D.W. Griffith had "hastily filmed" "The Greatest Question", implying that it was the first in a three film assignment from his new studio, First National. Gish notes that the films, which inclunded "The Idol Dancer" and 'The Love Flower", were not successful. "The cost of picture making had risen so high that even without other debts he was always courting complete ruin."
With D.W. Griffith at First National was cinematographer G.W. Bitzer.
