In the first reel, the introduction of Joan (Leatrice Joy) is accompanied by a closeup with her new hair style. Joy had impulsively cut her hair short in 1926, and DeMille, whom Joy had followed when he set up Producers Distributing Corporation, was publicly angry as it prevented her from portraying traditional feminine roles.[3] The studio developed projects with roles suitable for her “Leatrice Joy bob”,[3] and Made for Love was the first of five films before she regrew her hair. Despite this, a professional dispute would end the Joy / Demille partnership in 1928.
A copy of Made for Love is preserved film at the UCLA Film and Television Archive.[4]
