The film was made originally in two parts, each running 5 reels, entitled Sybil Young and Der Tod des Grobfursten. It was later re-edited into a shortened 6-reel version for English-language audiences, retitled Daughter of the Night. This film was considered lost until an archive print of the shortened release version was discovered in the 1990s. [1] The film was later released on Region 0 DVD by Alpha Video on 28 October 2008. The original, full-length film apparently no longer exists.
