Trivia
Although this film was known in most countries as The End of the World, the British exhibitors decided to change the title to The Flaming Sword, even though the story contained no swords, flaming or otherwise. Possibly the original title was deemed inappropriate for a film coming out in the middle of WW1. Nordisk Films announced previews in Kinematograph Weekly for press and trade, week commencing 8 May 1916. These were screened at the Nordisk "private showrooms" in Wardour Street, London. Also ran in London at the Brixton Palladium from 20 November 1916.
