[1] Throughout the years, The Next Corner has been cited as a Chaney picture but, according to the American Film Institute Catalog, his character has little screen time.

The novel was remade in sound in 1931 at RKO as Transgression starring Kay Francis and Nance O'Neil, with Ricardo Cortez returning to the same role.

Elsie Maury (Dorothy Mackaill) and her wealthy American husband Robert (Conway Tearle) spend their honeymoon in Paris, where she becomes acquainted with the smarmy Don Arturo (Ricardo Cortez), who plots to seduce her.

Soon after, a stranger arrives at the house and shoots Don Arturo dead for having seduced his peasant daughter on an earlier occasion.

Juan Serafin, thinking his master's death was Elsie's fault, takes it upon himself to maliciously deliver the letter to Robert in person.

The best feature of the picture is Dorothy Mackaill's vital performance...Conway Tearle as the husband and Ricardo Cortez as the other man are also effective, while Lon Chaney's personality is buried in a small role...It is a finely mounted production, but the story is weak."

---Moving Picture World "An unintentionally funny melodrama which may amuse but will not impress intelligent audiences...Why Lon Chaney consented to appear in such a foolish role as that of foster-brother Serafin remains an unsolved problem."

---Exhibitors Trade Review "Slow draggy development and poor direction....Lon Chaney's great ability is completely lost in this".
