Good References is a 1920 American silent romantic comedy drama film directed by Roy William Neill and starring Constance Talmadge, Vincent Coleman, Ned Sparks, Nellie Parker Spaulding, Mona Lisa, and Matthew Betz.
Equipped with these falsified references, Mary secures the position of social secretary to the captivating young millionaire, William Marshall.
To preserve her newfound role, Mary undertakes the arduous task of refining William's demeanor, transforming him from a rough-and-tumble individual into a polished gentleman capable of ascending the social hierarchy.
The film follows their subsequent journey back home, clad in scant attire, and the ensuing confrontation with William's sporting comrades at his family estate.
As the story progresses, Mary learns valuable lessons about the futility of counterfeit "good references" in lieu of genuine qualifications.
