Sexist codswallop which has proved very durable over the years because it has a terrific part of a female star – Camille the courtesan, beautiful, funny, adored by a younger man, who noblys sacrifices her love for his sake (and his sister), gets to talk (a lot), then dies tragically (with a little cough here and there). She breaks up with Armand at the pleading/bossing of Armand’s father, who in some interpretations could be seen as nice but here comes across as a horrible oppressive bully. Eva LaGallienne and Richard Waring play the lead roles.
