191958 min6.8 / 10

A gleefully absurd silent comedy about wealth and courtship that revels in physical humor, exaggerated characters, and the sheer spectacle of early cinema.

A pampered American oyster tycoon decides to buy a husband for his daughter, but things don’t go quite as planned. Along the way there are mishaps, misunderstandings and a foxtrot sequence that must be seen to be believed.
