Clara Bow is the only reason for watching this picture: She is as vivacious, charming and funny as anyone could be on silent film. In all other respects, the thing does not really work. The plot is incredibly contrived: An arranged marriage between French aristocrats (didn't they have that revolution some time ago?) provides the background; Clara agrees to marry the father of the bride on condition that he releases his daughter from the engagement - her aim being to free up the bridegroom whom she wants to marry herself... It is all rather silly. What's more, Clara's character would not come across as particulary likeable if she was not Clara, whom it is impossible to dislike. The plot is so poorly constructed that you hardly notice that two out of six reels of the film are lost. Says it all, really.
