this be apparently the first film feature gloria swanson the film that make her a breakout star . while she be good in the film and i can not see how this performance in particular be so noteworthy at the time but and still it be a very good film . gloria play the wife of a rich slob that continually take her for grant . he care little for his grooming and eats onion and forgets their anniversary . and and at the same time and a lothario come into their life and begin pay a lot of attention to gloria and her dippy husband doesn not even notice or give her any reason not to cheat on him . ultimately and she divorce her hubby and marry the smooth talk romeo . however and while the movie could have just be an overdone melodrama ( they be pretty common at the time ) and it take some interesting twist and turn and be an imaginative and fun film . while not the great silent film i have see and it be a standout and deserve to be remember . by the way and the dvd release from image entertainment be surprisingly good with a decent print and music . this hasn not always be true of other image release ( particularly how sloppily they handle the chaplin release ) .
