The film starred Norma Shearer and John Gilbert (prior to their stardom), together with Phyllis Haver, Conrad Nagel, and Hedda Hopper.
[1] The film was written by Monta Bell, and was based on the novel The Snob: The Story of a Marriage by Helen Reimensnyder Martin.
[2] As described in a review in a film magazine,[3] just as Nancy Claxton (Shearer) finished at a convent school, her wealthy father Sherwood (Sackville) is killed in a roadhouse brawl.
He becomes popular and conceited, succeeds in winning favor of Dorothy (Haver), whose father owns the school.
She then sees Eugene in his true light and shows him the newspaper story that she is heir to millions.
