Billed as A Classic of the Bashful Age! , His First Flame was filmed in 1925, while Harry Langdon was still at the famed Mack Sennett studios. When it became apparent that Langdon was going to leave and form his own company, Sennett chose to delay its release. The subsequent features that Harry produced himself, The Strong Man (1926), Tramp, Tramp, Tramp (1926), and Long Pants (1927), proved to be spectacular box-office successes. To capitalize on this, Sennett finally released His First Flame in May 1927, expanding the running time by adding outtakes and stock footage. Like all of Langdon s early work, His First Flame is co-written by legendary director Frank Capra.
