Interesting facts

Sally is a 1925 American silent romantic comedy film starring Colleen Moore. The film was directed by Alfred E. Green, produced by Moore's husband John McCormick, and based on the musical Sally written by Guy Bolton and Clifford Grey that was adapted to film by June Mathis. The play was a Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. production written specifically for Marilyn Miller that opened on December 21, 1920, at the New Amsterdam Theatre on Broadway. It ran for 570 performances.

Production

This was the second of five films, in three years, with Moore and Hughes starring. They also appeared together in The Huntress (1923), The Desert Flower (1925), Irene (1926), and Ella Cinders (1926).

During the production of this film, Moore met a young gag man who worked for Alfred Green who billed himself as a “comedy constructor,” named Mervyn LeRoy. They would become good friends and LeRoy would eventually direct Moore in her 1928 film Oh, Kay!
