An item in the 24 Dec 1921 Motion Picture News reported that director George Melford’s next production for Paramount Pictures would be an adaptation of John Colton’s story, “The Cat That Walked Alone,” with Dorothy Dalton in the starring role. Although the 4 Mar 1922 Motion Picture News referred to Colton’s work as a novel, other contemporary sources maintained that it was a short story. The film was initially referred to by the title of Colton’s story, but by early Mar 1922 the name had been changed to The Woman Who Walked Alone.
