no more corned beef and cabbage for her . this little romantic comedy clip along from scene to scene with a few exotic twist ( some imaginary scene and a costume party ) . all of this be center around the wife of the husband ( s ) who be look to break out of the doldrums and play by gloria swanson ( she be twenty here . ) . both the lead men have a natural air that be convince and of course swanson be perfect in all kind of mood and from frivolous to worry to hopeful . behind all the game and apparent lightheartedness be that old serious problem of stay in love and not stray in love . there a little corniness and but director demille be on top of keep it snappy and believable in all . a with many film from this period and the subtitle do not just tell what they be say ( or think ) but often give a kind of philosophical insight and a if to justify the tragedy ( or raciness ) . and there be that high purpose here and probably well without the instructional text and but it part of the narrative style and and it kind of quaint . if you be look for visual or formal amazement and you would not find it here . but a a story and well act and and film with precision and economy and it really a great example . the event might not come a a total surprise and but it such a modern love story and set almost a hundred year ago and it a gas . and do i saw swanson be perfect .
