Review of Male and Female (1919) by William D — 14 Jun 2009
MALE AND FEMALE is a wonderful silent film from 1919, and stars Gloria Swanson. Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, this movie is based on J.M. Barrie's play "The Admirable Crichton". Crichton is played by Thomas Meighan, who is the bulter in love with Swanson who plays an aristocrat.
When Swanson's character and her family decide to sail the high seas, they are shipwrecked on a tropical island along with their servants. While living on the island, the tables are turned - the servants are now in charge and the aristocrats are now the servants, as Crichton, the bulter has survival skills needed.
I recently purchased a DVD collection of Gloria Swanson's films, and very proud to own a copy of this film. The quality is excellent and the music is absolutely beautiful and fitting to the scenes.
This film is a must for all Gloria Swanson fans.
