...This film portrayed the sexual customs of American women just after World War I in the most daring and erotic way, creating unprecedented controversy in Hollywood history, and giving birth to the DeMille legend. The original work was the play Crichton's Love (1902) by JM Barrie, known as the author of Peter Pan, and the screenplay for the film was written by actress Jeanie McPherson. Sensing the rise of the avant-garde women of the time, the so-called "flappers," DeMille cast a new type of actress, Gloria Swanson, who was neither pure nor seductive, in his films The Man Who Loved Her and The Woman Who Loved Her (both 1919). In his sequel, A Man and a Woman, he satirically depicted the reversal of the master-servant relationship between British aristocrats and servants in a situation in which a butler (Thomas Megan) stranded on a deserted island bosses around his mistress (Swanson). ... From Barry…It is a classic children's play that tells the story of a family of children who encounter various adventures on a mysterious island with a boy named Peter Pan who never grows up. His other plays, the equally sentimental and fantastical "Look Who's Brutus" (1917), "Mary Rose" (1920), and the comedy "The Good Lord Crichton" (1902), which satirized high society, are now largely ignored as old-fashioned and sentimental. He was made Sir in 1913. … *Some of the terminology explanations that refer to "Bravo, Clayton" are listed below. Source | Heibonsha World Encyclopedia 2nd Edition | Information |
