Love's Greatest Mistake

Love's Greatest Mistake is a 1927 American silent drama film directed by A. Edward Sutherland and starring Evelyn Brent.

[2][3] Honey McNeil (Josephine Dunn) comes to New York expecting to have a rather dull time under her sister’s chaperonage.

But when she walks in on her sister (Evelyn Brent) clasped in the arms of a man other than her husband, Honey complacently adopts the new standard, and plays around with the rich banker she has met on the train (Frank Morgan), to the distress of her poorer, but more sincere sweetheart (James Hall), who naturally mistrusts the really innocent friendship.

Foiled of his prey, Don gives out a story to a tabloid and then arranges to elope with the sister.

Honey, coming home to the empty flat, out of step with a sweetheart who clumsily offers to marry her “in spite of all,” turns to the banker, but changes her mind just in time and marries the right man.
