According to film historian Anthony Slide, "With Robert Harron's death, the film industry for the first time had to deal with the release of a film whose star had just died under mysterious circumstances."[1] The film was released in 1921, the year following Harron's death. Instead of promoting Coincidence as Harron's final film, Metro chose not to associate it with Harron's death and had a "low key" release.[1]
