User Reviews

Norma Talmadge's last film.

The talkies didn't agree with Norma Talmadge. She left Hollywood after only making a few. This was to be her last. According to Greta de Groat's website, this plot revolves around a shopgirl who becomes mistress to a king but falls victim to the French Revolution. It is one of her few films available on video and has been shown on television. The Library of Congress is reported to have a copy but this is unconfirmed.
