The Gentleman from America is a 1923 American silent comedy film directed by Edward Sedgwick and featuring Hoot Gibson and Louise Lorraine.

[1] Two pals in the American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I, Dennis O'Shane (Hoot Gibson) and Johnny Day (Tom O'Brien), are given a furlough.

Dennis is mistaken for a desperate bandito and, at the same time, falls in love with Carmen Navarro (Louise Lorraine), the prettiest senorita in Cardonia.

In a series of adventures, Dennis saves her from marriage to a villain, learns she is the daughter of the Grand Duke (Albert Prisco), and becomes the assistant ruler of the kingdom.

He leaves his bride with the excuse that General Pershing has called him back to take charge of the Army, but he will return as soon as he gets the country's affairs in such shape that he can turn them over to an assistant.
