It is based on the in the George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly 1922 play of the same name, which in turn was based on Harry Leon Wilson's novel, also titled "Merton of the Movies".
Glenn Hunter had originated the role of Merton Gill in the Broadway play and reprised his role in this film.
Since the play had depended on funny dialogue, the movie (being silent) was opened up and a good deal of slapstick used instead.

The film is now considered a lost film.
