The sound discs and sound tape reels for this film survive in the UCLA Film and Television Archives.
Two stage sequences, filmed in 2-strip Technicolor, 3645 feet total, running 10 and 29 minutes respectively, constituted about 40% of the original footage. They were criticized by both the New York Times and Washington Post as being too long, detracting from the story, and the color being inferior to what had been previously offered in On with the Show! (1929) and Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929).
This film is believed lost.
The original Broadway production of "Paris" opened at the Music Box Theater on October 8, 1928 and ran for 195 performances with songs by Cole Porter and E. Ray Goetz.
In September 1928, Warner Bros. Pictures purchased a majority interest in First National Pictures and from that point on, all "First National" productions were actually made under Warner Bros. control, even though the two companies continued to retain separate identities until the mid-1930's, after which time "A Warner Bros.-First National Picture" was often used.
