Her night of romance (1924)
This film received rave reviews from critics for the comedy and fine performance by Constance Talmadge and Ronald Coleman. The New York Times film critic Mordaunt Hall wrote in 1924 that the film was a pictorial farce with effervescent Constance Talmadge as the principal performer. When a millionaire father takes his only daughter Dorothy Adams (Constance Talmadge) to England to see a specialist about her heart trouble, a British gentleman named Paul Menford, played by Ronald Coleman, falls in love with her instantly. He impersonates as a doctor get her attention. But things get complicated in his scheme especially when his business associate (Jean Hersholt) sells the Menford family estate.
The movie is well directed by Sidney Franklin and written is by Hanns Kraly. This was produced by Constance Talmadge Company and distributed by First National Pictures. Joseph Schenk and Constance Talmadge who were married to each other also produced this comedy. In 1933 Schenk helped Darryl F. Zanuck to establish 20th Century Pictures, which merged with the ailing Fox Film Corp. to become the 20th Century-Fox Company.
