The legendary silent movie of manners, mores and morals.The first Charlie Chaplin film in which he did not appear.While critics loved it and it made a star of Adolphe Menjou, audiences looking for The Little Tramp would have nothing to do with it, and it was a flop at the 1923 box office.Both Chaplin and United Artists, for which it was his first film, were greatly disappointed, and the film was withdrawn from circulation and denied to audiences for more than 50 years.
