Storyline

Diana is outwardly the hit of the party but inwardly virtuous and idealistic. Her friend Ann is thoroughly selfish and amoral. Both are attracted to Ben Black, soon-to-be millionaire. He takes Diana's flirtations with other boys as a sign of disinterest in him and marries Ann. Big mistake. Written by Ed Stephan <[email protected]>

The movie that made Joan Crawford
4 September 2000 | by (PA) – See all my reviews

Great Roaring 20's silent melodrama that made Joan Crawford a household name. She plays a wild flapper who falls in love with millionaire Brown, but looses him to another woman Page. Sounds typical, but it is a must see for film buffs and Crawford fans. Packed with party scenes, gin, and Charlestons. Contains crowd noises and sound effects.
