Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 1920 release captures the tail end of the 'flapper' movement's radical gender experimentation, just before the Hays Code clamped down on 'immoral' content.
Director Wayne Mack made only three known films; this surviving print is a rare glimpse at obscure silent-era indie production outside the major studios.
