A Great Silent Film

Just now finished watching the 1919 Cecil B. DeMille silent film, starring Gloria Swanson, entitled: "Male and Female."

One of DeMille's first films (comprised of about 2 hours of color-tinted scenes) centers around the experience of the daughter of a British Aristocratic (Lord Loam) who, having just ship wrecked at sea, finds herself reduced to lowliness, while sharing her plight, closely amongst the remaining surviving (yet paltry) servants. (ha).
Until, that is, she falls in Love with a handsome, mere servant...
The music score (so-so) moved throughout the scenes, shifting from one drama to the next. The end of the movie finds true Love amongst two of the survivors. (Though not as one would expect.)...A truly nostalgic film.

A list of DeMille's movies can be found here.

Just now found this amazing image within my collection of old, old, books!! The fold of the page prevents me from showing the Grecian, strappy high heel shoes with pearls… Which, by the way, have (somewhat) come into style.
