🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Malcolm St. Clair constructs the comedy on the stark contrast between ostentatious display and grim reality, relying on visual gags and ironic intertitles. He explores the theme of social mimicry, where sheer audacity is the primary weapon.
Those who tire of modern cynicism will find a timeless tale of a bluffer upending a family's life, delivered with the charming lightness of silent film. What lingers after is a wry smile at human vanity. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Malcolm St. Clair

Watch in good spirits as a prime example of witty Jazz Age comedy of manners.
