Lord Philip Rexford meets Mary in New York and marries her despite her less-than-sterling reputation. Five years later Lord and Lady Rexford are happily married until Philip goes away on a business trip. The forced seperation causes Mary to feel bored and lonely. She seeks the company of old friend Tommie Trent for an evening of innocent fun. A misunderstanding causes a scandal in the newspapers and Philip unjustly suspects Mary of not telling him the whole story. His distrust eventually derails their marriage. Despite the fact that Herbert Marshall's character is very unsympathetic and at times downright dislikable, the film is entertaining; Norma is ravishing in her Adrian gowns; Montgomery is typically roguish; the sets are dazzling and the opening sequence features Shearer and Marshall dressed in absolutely outrageous insect costumes which is worth the price of admission.
