Fine Feathers is a 1921 American silent drama film directed by Fred Sittenham and starring Eugene Pallette, Claire Whitney, Thomas W. Ross, Warburton Gamble and June Elvidge, produced and distributed by Metro Pictures Corporation.

One night at the theater they witness the production of "Paid in Full" and Bob's sympathies are with the husband who succumbs to the temptation to steal, while Jane chides him, saying nothing should cause a man to be dishonest.

He asks Bob to visit him and after chiding the young engineer for always playing the game straight, he makes him a proposition which he says will place him on easy street and enable him to buy Jane the fine feathers she should wear.

[5] On July 20, 1920, the New York Clipper writes that Fred Sittenham who is finishing filming Clothes has been selected by Maxwell Karger, Metro's Director General, to direct the upcoming production of Fine Feathers.

[7] Louise Huff was initially cast as Jane Reynolds but became ill. Metro went through dozens of actresses before they found Claire Whitney[8] at the beginning of August 1920.

[9] Fine Feathers was mostly shot in New York City in August, September and October 1920 at the Metro studios on 61st Street for the interiors.

[11] On August 7, 1920, the trade journal, The Moving Picture World breaks the news that "Permission has been obtained from the city police and the fire departments by Fred H. (sic) Sittenham, director of Metro's all-star picturization of Eugene Walter's stage play, "Fine Feathers," to take some exterior scenes before one of New York's leading theatres during the "wee sma'" hours of the morning.

"[12] The scene was to feature 1,500 extras representing a typical New York theatre crowd on a Saturday night during a thunder shower.

Principal photography ended at the beginning of October with exterior shots for Brand's home filmed at Billie Burke's "summer place", Burkeley Crest, now demolished and that was part of the Ziegfeld estate at Hastings-on-Hudson.

While working on location in Staten Island, she was always watched by scores of children of various ages who lived in the vicinity and after talking with a number of them, she decided that if they did not like any particular scene, it had better be retaken.

With the cameraman stationed close to the miniature, the water was turned on and as the basin began to fill the camera registered the growing flood.

[17] The Exhibitor Herald will add "The scene of the bursting dam — a plaster of paris affair — would not fool the novice in filmdom, as it looked nothing like the massive stone structure against which the company was photographed several times previously".
