      Production background


      The film is based on the 1920 play L'homme en habit (The Man in Evening Clothes) by Andre Picard and Yves Mirande. Directed by Luther Reed, the film starred Adolphe Menjou, Virginia Valli, and Louise Brooks and is currently considered a lost film.
      Production took place January 3 through 29, 1927. The film was shot at Paramount’s studio in Hollywood, and at the Graf Brothers Studio in San Mateo, California and Kohl Estate in nearby Burlingame, California. Pre-release Paramount production records list the length at 7 reels (6,252 feet) for the domestic release, and 7 reels (6,204 feet) for the foreign release.
      As part of Paramount's production of multiple-language versions of its films, two remakes were made in 1931 at the Joinville Studios in Paris, the Spanish-language film A Gentleman in Tails and the French-language film The Man in Evening Clothes.
