''Rosita'' was a huge success and earned over a million dollars. Despite this, Mary Pickford [[CreatorBacklash hated the film]]. She orderd all the prints destroyed and refused to hand ''Rosita'' over for film preservation. Thankfully, a (presumably bootleg) print was saved and thus the film still exists for future audiences pleasure.

''Rosita'' came to be because Mary Pickford was sick of being type-casted as cute children in films. She wanted an adult role that wasn't TheIngenue for once. Pickford originally wanted to do an adaptation of the 1902 novel ''Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall'' but Creator/ErnstLubitsch backed out at the last minute. They then decided to do ''Faust'' but Mary Pickford's mother nixed the idea when she heard about the infamous baby killing scene. As a result, Pickford and Lubitsch ended up adapting ''Don César de Bazan''.
