The Rustle of Silk (1923)
Directed by Herbert Brenon
Overview
Lola de Breze loves Lord Arthur Fallaray from afar, though there seems to be no way to bring them together—he is England’s Colonial Secretary and married, while she is merely a working class maiden. But when she is given a maid’s position in his household, it brings her that much closer to her idol. She puts on a fancy gown and heads to the Ritz in hopes of getting a formal introduction. After being fired from the household, she follows Fallaray to his country home and nurses him when he falls ill. Lord Fallaray’s wife Lady Feo doesn’t love him and is having an affair with Paul Chalfont. When it looks like he will be faced with scandal, Fallaray contemplates giving up politics and marrying Lola.
