1.0 / 10 · TMDB

Sally Mapes and her husband, Robert, have a glorious romance after they are married but it hits troubled water after the birth of a son. Robert thinks Sally care more for their son than she does him, and he just drifts along with his club-and-society activities, while Sally thinks his neglect is because he no longer loves her. Sally is attracted by Paul Gregg, one of society's useless members, and this leads Sally and Robert to have an argument, and Robert departs. Jennie, the baby's governess, has an affair with a crook named Barnes and, one night, while Barnes comes to rob the apartment he hears Paul imploring Sally to run away with him. And one thing leads to another.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a nuanced domestic drama, exploring how a child's arrival reshapes marital dynamics and exposes fragile egos. It relies on the actors' performances to depict the quiet resentment and miscommunication that fester beneath a polished surface.

What lingers after the final reel is a bittersweet reflection on love and neglect, wrapped in the conventions of a silent-era social comedy with a dash of unexpected crime. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Richard Thomas
