The Affairs of Anatol

Unusual and rather risqué for its time, (uncredited director) Cecil B. DeMille's drawing room drama stars Wallace Reid as Anatol Spencer, a self-appointed savior of "loose women" who leaves wife, Vivian (Gloria Swanson), behind to embark on his crusade. Anatol meets his match when he's drawn to nightclub entertainer Satan Synne (Bebe Daniels), whose seductive way hides a surprising secret. Based on the 1893 German play “Anatol” by Arthur Schnitzler. 117 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score. Silent with music score.
