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.[1][2][3]

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.
