Billie Brown (Joan Crawford) parties it up sometimes with aspiring diplomat boyfriend Gil Jordan (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.). She uses her charms on senior diplomat Glenn Abbott to get Gil a prestigious assignment. Meanwhile, Gil is starting a fling with her best friend Kentucky Strafford.
This is a transitional semi-silent movie. Sound was not recorded during filming but the film does have a synchronized soundtrack. In addition to the constant music, the soundtrack has various sound effects and additional lines inserted in post production. It's Crawford's last silent film and at the time, she's newly married to Fairbanks Jr. There is no appealing couple in the group. One gets the sense that nobody is staying together for that long despite the relationships having happy endings. Nevertheless, it's fun to see these stars in this transitional period.
