1.0 / 10 · TMDB

Her strict upbringing is driving Genevra French (Dorothy Phillips) crazy, so when she gets her hand on a book called "How to Attract the Opposite Sex," she takes its advice to heart. She uses her newly found wiles on Lawrence Tabor (William Stowell) and gets him to marry her. Only after the wedding does she tell him she married him just to get away from her family, and that she intends to do exactly as she pleases.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a light comedic premise that relies on the clash between rigid propriety and a thirst for personal agency. It explores the theme of a marriage of convenience with a playful, ironic touch, questioning social norms through its determined heroine.

What lingers after the final reel is the charm of the performances and the film's gentle subversion of romantic conventions. A witty snapshot of changing attitudes. — MovieFinder Editorial
