Joyner became notorious for her role as exotic court temptress Ancaria in The Sign Of The Cross - the seductive dance she performs around Elissa Landi as Mercia to the Dance of the Naked Moon, in an attempt to arouse her, attracted the attention of the pre-Code censors. The Hays office wanted the dance cut from the film. In his autobiography DeMille recounts the conversation he had with the director of the Hays office who asked what he was going to do about the scene, to which DeMille replied "Not a damn thing." The dance stayed in the film but was cut from later re-releases following the enforcement of the Code in 1934. See footnote to lot 11.
