豆知識

The Mating Call is a 1928 American silent drama film directed by James Cruze about a soldier who returns home from World War I to find his marriage has been annulled and his wife has remarried. Due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also prepared. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. The film was produced by Howard Hughes for his Caddo Corporation, and was originally released by Paramount Pictures. It is based on the novel of the same name by Rex Beach. Renée Adorée has a brief nude scene in the film.

Production

Although the story takes place immediately after World War I (1918–1919), all of Evelyn Brent's and Helen Foster's clothes are strictly in the 1928 short skirt style, which is completely out of place in the time frame of the story. The film does reflect, however, some of the American societal issues following the war.

Principal photography took place in Hollywood, San Diego, and Fallbrook, California.
