The Bal Tabarin was a leading Parisian nightspot from 1904 until it closed in 1953. This film capitalised on nostalgia for the much loved venue.
The music to which Alice Kessler and Ellen Kessler dance is that of the song "Si tu Voulais m'Aimer" which was composed by Henri Betti and Jean-Pierre Landreau for the review "Prestige" presented at the Lido de Paris.
