Male And Female (Silent)

"Lavishly staged, skillfully directed. It is a remarkable movie."

Cecil B. DeMille's breakthrough production, a satire on class distinctions. Based on James M. Barrie's play "The Admirable Crichton," Male and Female made a star of Gloria Swanson and solidified DeMille's standing as a big box office director with one of his more modest, but no less "big" silent classics.
