      The first movie to ever depict a choreographed dance scene in a silent movie: The Charleston.
    • Goofs
      When Maurice flicks the eight flowers at Suzanne, they end up scattered around her feet, as she stands in front of the chair. However, when Dr. Giraud is brought home from the ball by his wife and first sits down in the chair, the flowers are in a somewhat more concentrated area. Then, after Suzanne has berated her husband, the camera cuts back to the doctor, still seated, who is able to pick up all the flowers that are now in a very small area, directly at the doctor's feet.

    Beautiful, Funny Romp
    An extremely witty comedy, and lovely to watch. Monte Blue (Dr. Paul Giraud) in particular is great at silently mugging without becoming too ridiculous. The dialogue in the cards is funny and well-written. I love older movies in part because I am a fan of period dresses, and this film has some beautiful sets and costumes.

    The story is about two married couples, all who secretly begin flirtations with the spouse in the other couple. The opening credits list a "French play" as the source of the movie but title aside, the action could in fact be set anywhere.

    My only disappointment is that I would have wished for better music for the renowned dance party sequence. The version I saw had the Charleston played by an organ on the soundtrack (uncredited score by Ben Model). This probably came close to what 1926 audiences would have heard, but somehow seemed too refined for the mammoth, raucous, dance party shown on screen.
