Interesting facts

Trifling Women is a 1922 American silent romantic drama film directed by Rex Ingram. It is credited with boosting the careers of its leads, Barbara La Marr and Ramon Novarro. It has been described as Ingram's most personal film.

Production

The film is a remake of the 1917 film Black Orchids, also directed by Rex Ingram. Back then, the studio thought the film was too erotic and did not encourage its release. Therefore, Ingram remade the film in 1922, making it "twice as erotic".

Trifling Women starred Barbara La Marr and Ramón Novarro, who were reteamed from The Prisoner of Zenda (1922), a highly successful film which was recently released. The reunion made the audience suspect they were a couple, but it was later revealed that they were no more than close friends.

The role La Marr played was specially written for the actress. Shortly before the film's release, Novarro's name, which was Ramon Samaniegos, was changed to 'Novarro'.
