The film is based on the 1899 French stage play of the same name that starred Mrs. Leslie Carter.

Zaza's original release date was scheduled for October 4, 1915. However, a nitrate fire at the Famous Players studio on September 11, 1915 caused the film's release to be delayed until November 11. The film is now considered lost.
