The Affairs of Anatol
1921
Synopsis
Socialite Anatol Spencer, finding his relationship with his wife lackluster, goes in search of excitement. After bumping into old flame Emilie, he leases an apartment for her only to find that she cheats on him. He is subsequently robbed, conned, and booted from pillar to post.
Editorial
Based on a play by Arthur Schnitzler, who also penned the source novel behind Eyes Wide Shut, Cecil B. DeMille’s sex comedy fizzes with naughtiness. Delightfully flighty as an upper-class newlywed, Gloria Swanson ushers in the roaring twenties and its carefree attitudes towards love and marriage.
