Plot: Love, duty, and the scent of narcissus. Theodora, a young and penniless aristocrat, marries a much older man, self-made millionaire grocer Josiah Brown, so that her father and spinster sisters can live comfortably. Soon after the wedding, she finds herself falling in love with Hector, the Tenth Earl of Bracondale, a playboy she encounters on the social circuit of the very rich -- in the Swiss Alps, Paris, London, and the English countryside. Hector is attracted to her as well. Theodora must choose between love and duty, and then Josiah and Hector must make choices of their own.
Rotten Tomatoes: In this romantic melodrama, a beautiful young gold digger (Gloria Swanson) marries a much older man for his wealth and then falls in love with a handsome adventurer (Rudolph Valentino). The affair quickly heats up and before it goes too far the woman realizes her errant ways and decides to return to her husband. She then writes each man a letter explaining her decision. Unfortunately before they are delivered, a jealous woman steals them and switches the contents. The husband is so shocked and upset that he goes on safari to Africa. Both Swanson and Valentino follow him to beg forgiveness. They arrive just as her husband, whose party was attacked by outlaws, lay dying. Before he expires, he gives the lovers his blessings.

Plot: Elizabeth Cheney has a wealthy husband, social prominence and everything she could want in life . . . except Ted Lutton, the man she loves.

To help convince herself to stay with her husband, she invites Arnold's mother, Lady Catherine (Eugenie Besserer), who left Arnold's father for Lord Porteous (George Fawcett). Everything that Elizabeth sees confirms her belief that she should forgo love and stay with her husband . . . until she witnesses the true love still shared by this couple living in social exile.
