The fantasy has a modern theme and mythological sequences involving shots of beaches with flimsy gowned dancers and imaginative caverns where dwell Venus, Neptune, Jupiter and the rest of the gods. There is also some views of wild life such as seals and tropical birds.[3]
On location filming was conducted at Santa Cruz Island, California. Jean Arthur was initially cast as the lead, but was replaced by the more experienced Mary Philbin after a few days of rehearsal.[4]
Preservation
With no prints of The Temple of Venus located in any film archive,[5] it is a lost film.
