The Man and the Moment

Society child Joan Winslow (Billie Dove) wanted out from under the control of her strict guardian, and playboy Michel Towne (Rod La Rocque) was weary of keeping determined gold-digger Viola Hatfield (Gwen Lee) at bay. They both thought they’d found an out through a quick and temporary marriage of convenience...but very inconveniently discovered real feelings for one another. Long-thought-lost, part-silent comedy, based on an Elinor Glyn novel, also stars Robert Schable, Charles Sellon. 79 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
