Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst shot as a silent film (which exists), this was recast and re-shot as an all-talkie film. The silent version was released overseas and on a very limited basis domestically.
- GoofsThe soldiers ask Marianne to imitate Maurice Chevalier, so she sings "Louise." That song was written in 1929, more than a decade after WWI ended.
- Alternate versionsAlthough two versions of this film were shot, a talkie and a silent, and both of them exist, there was also a third version that MGM used to show this film in Argentina. The majority of the footage was lifted from the silent version (with an added soundtrack with music and effects) and all of the songs from the sound version were also included.
- ConnectionsEdited from The Big Parade (1925)
- SoundtracksLa Marseillaise

Written by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle
Played after French mobilization for World War I
Featured review
There are much better Marion Davies pictures
I have been interested in Marion Davies ever since my first visit to "The Ranch", Wm Randolph Hearst's estate in San Simeon, now a California state park.
Charlie Chaplin considered Marion to be one of the best female comedians (the IMDb spell checker can't find the female equivalent) - the tragedy as I have heard is that Hearst kept pushing her to do dramatic roles. This was one such movie - and I understand her first "talkie" (besides one of the world's first) - there are some scenes of her in a comedy role but I have to say the movie was so boring to me I hit fast forward (it is not in the theaters anymore ;-) ) - just to get to the end.
Of the Marion Davies movies I have seen, so far "Show People" is my favorite - in it you can tell she has a self-deprecating sense of humor about herself and "show people" (particularly if they have met success)
Anyway I think my giving this a "5" was generous - it seem to just wander and wander without a destination until the end.
