7/10

Nicely done.

This silent French film begins with Georges feeling miserable, as he has ambitions of being a great musician but is forced to eke out a living giving lessons. So, he writes a friend to ask his advice. The friend tries to remake Georges and make him a bit of a playboy. However, when it comes to wooing a rich American, the advice is not exactly perfect. It seems that the lady actually likes Georges as he is! This is a nice little film. While it is relatively short by today's standards, it does tell a nice little story. It also features nice, subtle acting as well as a light director's touch from Jacques Feyder. Not a brilliant film but one that holds up better than many silents from the same era.
