Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJoan Crawford is the uncredited non-nude body double for Norma Shearer. Norma plays two roles in the film. Whenever both characters are in the same scene, Crawford plays the role that has her backside to the camera.
- GoofsAfter Molly announces to David (and Chunky) that she and Chunky are getting married, David wishes them well and leaves. Chunky then goes to Molly and gives her a loving hug, whereupon she says, "Don't be previous!" and knocks him over a chair onto his back on the floor, and then she leaves. As the camera cuts back from Molly leaving to Chunky on the floor, he is now behind the table, still on his back but with his feet up in the air against the window, and the dog is licking his face.
- Quotes
Molly's Friend: We gotta go. We're dated with some jolly undertakers from Schenectady.
Gertie - Molly's Other Friend: Yeh, they dance round on your feet half the night and then crave affection.
- Alternate versionsIn 2006, Turner Entertainment Company copyrighted a 61-minute version with an original piano score composed by Jon Mirsalis. It was broadcast on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) in 2006, and distributed by Warner Bros. Television.

Featured review
Shearer is gorgeous and beautifully directed.
A new print of this film was screened in San Francisco at the July 2004 Silent Film Festival, with live original piano accompaniment. For Shearer fans, an unbelievable treat. She plays two roles, displaying a unique sensitivity to each character's situation. Even though the script is sparse, Monta Bell's direction and usage of prolonged portrait shots pulls the viewer into a deep understanding of the parallel stories. For trivia fans: Norma really had her eyes under control for this one! There are more 3/4 and full-faced shots than I have ever seen or could hope for. She more than deserves the on-going introduction of, "The lovely Norma Shearer." We must have a DVD of this one!
