Pleasant comedy of manners, 25 March 2001
7/10
Author: psteier from New York

Marion Davies is nearly engaged to Conrad Nagel, but then he decides to join the British army to fight in the Napoleonic wars. When he returns perhaps ten years later, he seems to snub her for being too old, so she decides to test his love by impersonating her mythical niece Livvy from London.

Very well done. The contrast between Marion Davies' two characters is fun and interesting. The dialog in the titles may seem queer, but is probably taken from the J.M. Barrie play.

The cinematography has some unusual camera angles and some of the scenes could not be done as they are in a sound movie, especially the gossips.
