Director Clarence Badger again went to Elinor Glyn for source material while bringing actress Clara Bow to the screen during 1928 for the six reel film "Three Week-Ends", in which she costarred with Neil Hamilton. The film is considered a lost silent film, with only a fragment existing held by the UCLA archive. The other two films made by Clara Bow during 1928, "The Fleet's In" (Malcom St. Clair) and "Ladies in the Mob" (William A. Wellman) are also lost silent films, with no surviving copies existing.

Gendered spectatorship notwithstanding, in a way, the girl coming down the stairs is symbolic of the lost film itself, the unattainable She, idealized beauty antiquated (albeit it being the beginning of Modernism), with the film detective catching a glimpse of the extratextural discourse of periodicals and publicity stills concerning Lost Films, Found Magazines
