McFadden's Flats is a 1927 American silent comedy film directed by Richard Wallace and based on an 1896 play of the same name.

[3][4][5] McFadden's Flats has held "a unique place in the hearts of theatregoers for more than thirty years", said Small in 1926.

This is partly due to the fact that the camera permits a visualisation of situations that could only be suggested on the stage.

Successful entertainment of the future will run more and more to humour than sobs, and money will be emended for ideas rather than lavish settings.

[7]Grant Clarke and Jack Wagner wrote three new comedy sequences for the movie which saw its shooting schedule extended from ten days to two weeks.
