The Fast Set

The Fast Set is a 1924 American silent comedy-drama film directed by William C. deMille and starring Betty Compson.

[1][2] The film is based on the 1923 Broadway play, Spring Cleaning, by Frederick Lonsdale.

Differences in tastes and a lack of understanding of each begin to alienate them, and Ernest Steele (Menjou), leader of the fast set, hastens the crisis by making love to Margaret.

As an object lesson to his wife, Richard brings Mona (Pitts), a woman of the streets, to his wife's dinner party and tells the guests that her presence should not be resented as she is a professional in the same game they play as amateurs.

Steele then takes a hand, convincing Richard that he has been too inattentive and showing him how to win back his wife, who really loves him.
