In late 1928, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer announced that it had bought Nell Martin's novel "Lord Byron of Broadway" and would be turning it into a musical with William Haines and Bessie Love. However, it went downscale when actually casting the central roles, and the lack of star power and the so unappealing story added up to a flop at the box office. Critics commented about its lackluster casting, and "Lord Byron Of Broadway" quickly sank at the box office.

Two musical sequences, totaling 878 feet, were filmed in 2-strip Technicolor, and occur in Reels #4 & #6, and survive in the TCM print. The first number, The Woman in the Shoe, was re-used in Nertsery Rhymes (1933) and the second number, Blue Daughter of Heaven, was re-used in Roast-Beef and Movies (1934).

Although included in MGM's library of over 700 feature films (1929-1949) released to television in the mid-1950's this one's age, obscure, forgotten players and unappealing story doomed it to the continued oblivion it had enjoyed for the preceding quarter of a century. Only a handful of lesser market broadcasts were the inevitable result. Its earliest documented telecasts took place in Norfolk VA Wednesday 11 June 1958 on WTAR (Channel 3), followed by Portland OR 27 June 1958 on KGW (Channel 8); it was eventually dusted off in Sacramento CA 4 May 1959 on KCRA (Channel 3) and in Honolulu 8 September 1959 on KHVH (Channel 13).
