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.
Thomas Hischak described the result as" uneven" although" Hunter still pleases and there are some droll performances by the supporting cast".
The film is now considered a lost film.
It was remade in 1932( as" Make Me a Star") and again in 1947.
