Production background

Originally titled "Fifth Avenue Childs" and then "Fifth Avenue", Childs Restaurant management would not give Goldwyn permission to use their name, eventually he landed on This is Heaven.

Some scenes were filmed on location in New York City.

Like the majority of films in the early sound era, film was released in a silent version for theatres that had not yet converted to sound. Due to the public apathy towards silent film, the film's release was delayed so that some talking sequences could be filmed. Vilma had to have voice training which further delayed the process. By the time the film was released, in June 1929, the majority of new films were all-talking.
