看一部1924年的默片，本以为会沉闷，结果被约翰·巴里摩尔的布鲁梅尔牢牢抓住了。一句忠告：请忽略它“动作片”的标签，这其实是一部用布料与眼神编织的悲剧。适合对默片表演艺术感兴趣、偏爱人物命运大于情节起伏的观众。适合那些对默片表演艺术好奇、或想透过服饰礼仪窥探19世纪英国社交暗流的观众——这片子更像一部流动的礼仪教科书，而非传统冒险故事。玛丽·阿斯特的贵族小姐在马车里扔下他时，车帘落下那一瞬间，布鲁梅尔的身影在尘土里显得特别孤寂。玛丽·阿斯特饰演的贵族小姐同样出彩，她与巴里摩尔的对手戏没有一句台词，却把爱慕与失望都揉进了指尖的触碰和转身的停顿里。

George Bryan Brummel, a British military officer, loves Lady Margery, the betrothed of Lord Alvanley. Despite her own desperate love for Brummel, she submits to family pressure and marries Lord Alvanley. Brummel, broken-hearted, embarks upon a life of revelry. He befriends the Prince of Wales and leaves the army, becoming subsequently the best-known rake and decider of fashion in Europe. As his affairs flourish, so does his disdain for his benefactor, the Prince. Eventually Brummel falls into disfavor, and it is only Lady Margery who has any chance of helping him.
