In the years following women's suffrage, questions were raised about their changed limitations. Greta Garbo, at 24, was quite beautiful and gives an excellent performance as a woman who desires the liberties that men enjoy. This well-directed, well-photographed movie has her torn between yesterday's lover (Nils Asther) and today's husband (Johnny Mack Brown, before his cowboy stardom). And no tot is cuter than Wally Albright. Suicide is briefly entertained as a possible solution.
