The Jilt is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Irving Cummings and starring Marguerite De La Motte, Ralph Graves, and Matt Moore.

[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Rose Trenton (De La Motte) has mistaken pity for love and become engaged to George Prothero (Moore), a blinded and cynical hero of World War I.

Gradually the truth dawns upon her and she faces the task of telling a naturally suspicious and jealous man that she does not love him, and without letting him think that it is because of his eyes that she is breaking their engagement.

After hearing of an eye specialist in Paris who could possibly operate and restore George's sight, she writes to him.

With this absurd denial, Rose sees that the man is not sightless in a physical sense, only morally and mentally.
