🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic situational comedy around the contrast between fleeting infatuation and mature resolve. It relies entirely on the actors' expressive pantomime to convey shifting emotions without a single intertitle.

What lingers after viewing is a gentle irony towards social conventions and a touching finale where virtue is rewarded, though not for everyone. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: D.W. Griffith
