A Wonderful Cast Carries A Blah Script
9 March 2024
At Monte Carlo's casino, Warren William steals a kiss from Dolores Del Rio, not knowing she is the widow of an English lord, still in mourning. When they meet again in England, she is engaged at the insistence of her late husband's relatives, to pleasant but dull Colin Clive. William still doesn't know an of this, so he takes her n a day trip to Margate, where she purchases a cheap souvenir and sends it to him, along with a nice note about American gangster Warren Hymer, whom William finds amusing and fun to hang out with. Social climbing Louise Fazenda wants Miss Del Rio to attend her party, steals the note and souvenir, tells Miss Del Rio that she bought it from William, and threatens exposure, which will shock English society.

Tsk. It's weak tea so far as the story goes, but it's always worth looking at Miss Del Rio, William is utterly charming and Code-compliant, and Clive plays the dull fellow to perfection, as you may easily imagine. There's little that's wrong here for a second feature, and at a few seconds under an hour it won't take much time to get through.
