The Film Overview:

• Release Year: 1927

• Studio: Paramount Pictures

• Director: Frank R. Strayer

• Co-Stars: Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton & Louise Brooks

Brooks' Role and Impact:

In Now We're in the Air, Brooks played dual roles: twin sisters Grisette and McEwen. The film featured a WWI aviation setting and was highly successful at the box office. Brooks' participation in this comedy is notable for cementing her status as a major screen presence prior to her European masterpieces with G.W. Pabst (such as Pandora's Box).

Career Milestones:

• Broadway Breakthrough (1924-1925): After parting ways with Denishawn, she quickly landed work as a chorus girl in George White's Scandals. Shortly after, she was a featured dancer in the 1925 Ziegfeld Follies at the New Amsterdam Theatre.

• Signature Look: Known for her sleek, dark bobbed haircut, Brooks quickly became a 1920s fashion and beauty icon.

• Pop Culture Influence: Her role and likeness in Now We're in the Air were highly marketed, even landing her an endorsement tie-in with Truso perfume.

Film Preservation Status:

For decades, Now We're in the Air was thought to be a completely lost silent film. However, in recent years, film historians and preservationists (such as the Louise Brooks Society) discovered a surviving, incomplete print that included rare Technicolor sequences. Today, only fragments of the movie exist.
