Storyline
| Plot Summary |
George Bryan Brummel, a British military officer, loves Lady Margery, the betrothed of Lord Alvanley. Despite her own desperate love for Brummel, she submits to family pressure and marries Lord Alvanley. Brummel, broken-hearted, embarks upon a life of revelry. He befriends the Prince of Wales and leaves the army, becoming subsequently the best-known rake and decider of fashion in Europe. As his affairs flourish, so does his disdain for his benefactor, the Prince. Eventually Brummel falls into disfavor, and it is only Lady Margery who has any chance of helping him.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | During filming, John Barrymore and Willard Louis would replace their scripted dialogue with dirty jokes and foul language, thinking no one would notice in a silent film. However, this was a time when deaf people could comfortably go to the movies and many of them were quite adept at reading lips. As a result, the studio received thousands of letters of complaint.

Gordon Bryon 'Beau' Brummel:
Your wife has just been kissed - she has never been kissed by a gentleman before. Snodgrass - the Innkeeper: Did my wife have the honor, sir, of being insulted by you - - or the Prince of Wales? Gordon Bryon 'Beau' Brummel: You can say anything you like about the Prince - but be careful of my reputation. See more » |
