“She was now 81 but looked 60. Not quite five feet tall, consummately stylish, she held court in the art-filled rooms that evening as the fancy crowd swarmed to congratulate her.
"For an hour or so, I hugged a wall and nursed a drink, feeling quite out of place. Then I saw Swanson making her way over to me. 'Only you and I know who wrote this book,' she said. 'Thank you.'"

"Actually, it took four people to write the book: Swanson, her sixth husband, her lover, and me. When Swanson spoke to me that day, she couldn’t have imagined that the story was far from over, or that it would be distorted almost beyond recognition in the course of time."

Male and Female (1919), Cecil B. DeMille's take on J.M. Barrie's The Admirable Crichton. It made teenaged Gloria Swanson a star. A shipwrecked aristocratic family needs their butler to save them.
Sophisticated comedy, a fine romantic melodrama and an effective satire. And it’s visually arresting. Great movie.
My review: https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2023/02/male-and-female-1919.html
