Gilbert Roland would make his talkie debut in Talmadge's first talkie NEW YORK NIGHTS in 1930.
King apparently disliked The Woman Disputed, and according to de Groat, Sam Taylor, co-credited as director, completed some scenes in the film. King’s career spanned half a century, ending with 1962’s Tender Is the Night, and his transition to talkies was seamless. Talmadge had a harder time. In silent films, she had played a variety of roles.

The Woman Disputed. The Woman Disputed is a 1928 American synchronized sound film. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. The plot draws in part on the 1880 short story "Boule de Suif" by French writer Guy de Maupassant .
The silent version of The Woman Disputed (1928) is a fine film even if it doesn't reach full expectations. Review by AHackFraud ★★★ 'Typically, the protagonist of a King film is notable for inner resources which at times suggest spiritual depths,' Walter Coppedge wrote in his monograph of Henry King, and it's very easy to observe that in this adaptation of Boule de Suif.
