Originally filmed under the title The House of Troy, In Gay Madrid was one of four 1930 MGM operettas designed to show off the singing talents of silent-screen idol Ramon Novarro. The star is cast as Ricardo, a young, headstrong student in love with cabaret girl Goyita (Lottice Howell). Trouble is, he already has a sweetheart, the demure Carmina (Dorothy Jordan). This being an essentially lighthearted frolic, Ricardo eventually goes back to his true love, while Goyita philosophically moves on to her next conquest.
