Paramount Studios Film Still from NOW WE'RE IN THE AIR
August-September, 1927 · Hollywood, California

NOW WE'RE IN THE AIR, like the three other films Louise Brooks made in 1927, is lost. Probably notable only for the dual appearance of Brooks as twins separated at birth—one raised in Germany, and the other in France—the film anticipates her move to those same countries a short time later where she would find her most enduring film roles. Aside from this, the film was little more than a slapstick programmer, and the first in which Brooks co-starred with friend and fellow Midwesterner Wallace Beery.
