In 1926 Lya De Putti went to the United States and became a star there. Due to her popularity, a sound version of "Jealousy" was prepared in 1928 for exhibition in the United States. While the sound version had 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.
