Comment
A married man (Thomasn Meighan) is tempted into a one night stand with a shop girl (Bebe Daniels) he meets when he buys a night dress for his wife. When his wife (Gloria Swanson) finds out she leaves him. They divorce and he marries the other woman. Later by chance, they both stay at the same hotel and realise they still have feeling for each other. This is a great romantic comedy from the 1920's, that is a commentary on marriage and also has some amazing outfits for the ladies in the film. It is notable for its acting that is much more animated than many films of the period and the scene towards the end of the film where the two women (Gloria Swanson and Bebe Daniels) fight over the man.
