Editorial Reviews

Handsome David Page is loved by two very different women: Molly, an overpainted and undereducated floozy. And Florence, a refined graduate of a finishing school. Since both lovelorn ladies are played by Norma Shearer, melodrama fans know they're in for double the romantic heartache. Shearer was on the cusp of stardom when she took these showy dual roles. She makes both women strong characters, but it's her Molly who stands out: blowzy, crude, aching with love and longing for class. And if Shearer seems to have developed a formidable set of shoulders in some scenes where she interacts with herself, there's a reason. Her over-the-shoulder double was played by a young - and unknown - Joan Crawford.

5.0 out of 5 stars Norma Shearer Lady of the Night, July 6, 2010

This review is from: Lady Of The Night (DVD)

Bittersweet, greatly acted and shows why silent movies are still important as fine art to this day---Norma Shearer is an almost indescribable talent. whether knowingly sad, faraway wistful, in total control of a scene or light as a feather---this lady exhibits a once in a lifetime talent.---just a foretaste of a great body of acting yet to come.

This review is from: Lady Of The Night (DVD)

With few exceptions, I thought of silents as little more than curiosities. Lady of the Night changed my mind. The story is achingly simple: Lumpen Molly loves handsome young inventor, and encourages his talents, he falls for the banker's daughter, Florence. Meanwhile a heartsick but simple suitor waits patiently for her. It's a story with no villains and no contrivances, just the tragedy of realism. Shearer is mesmerizing and gorgeous as both heroines, and the acting so good throughout that the subtitles are unnecessary. A must.
