Quiz
Long thought to be lost, a print was discovered in the Howard Hughes collection at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Blooper
Although the story takes place immediately after World War I (1918-1919), all of Evelyn Brent's and Helen Foster's clothes are strictly in the 1928 short skirt mode, completely out of place in the time frame of the story.

Citazioni
Poker Player: Major Hatten seems to be suffering from shell shock.
Hatten's Best Man: Worse than that! He's in love - with his own wife.

Versioni alternative
In 2004, the University of Nevada Las Vegas and Flicker Alley, LLC copyrighted a digitally restored version with a new orchestral score composed, arranged and conducted by Robert Israel. It was produced by Jeffery Masino and runs 72 minutes.

Sex, lies, and the Order

THE MATING CALL was shown on TCM on Dec. 15, 2004, marking its apparent first screening since 1928. The silent film is something of a morality play, complete with a returning soldier who has lost his wife (to an adulterer); a morals police force, the Order, in dark cloth hoods (except for the leader, who wears satin); one woman drenched by a bucket of water and another caught skinny-dipping; and some provocative eyebrow acting. Evelyn Brent radiates sex as Rose, while Thomas Meighan seems mostly confused as the farmer who needs a replacement woman -- and goes to Ellis Island to get one! THE MATING CALL, directed by James Cruze (I COVER THE WATERFRONT), ably entertains while carrying a rather more serious theme on hypocrisy.
