After the scandal Amy is courted by Tony Channing, but she returns to her husband and finds him near death from gas fumes.

Strictly average movie
Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
It's not surprising that DeMille would make a film with this title because he had an obsession with women's feet.Just by looking at the film you can see the amount of money that he must have spent on costumes, sets, research and paying attention to detail. The one thing it lacked was human warmth.
