Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This film is considered LOST—no known prints survive, so we're all judging it from a plot synopsis like it's a podcast recap.

Cultural

1919 was peak 'working girl' cinema—women entering workforce but punished for ambition, rewarded for returning to 'sensible' marriages.
