The unseen hand of Ernest Lubitsch pulls the strings for these popular puppets and makes them dance acceptably.

Three Women is an exposition of as pretty a piece of direction as has been seen on the screen in some time. For this Ernst Lubitsch is to be credited.

While Three Women has many strong points, it becomes wobbly and unreal toward the end.

Performance-wise, only Frederick manages a real and interesting turn here. She's fascinating to watch, and knows exactly how to play to the camera. Everyone else either overacts, mugs, or becomes part of the scenery.

A hit then, it's minor Lubitsch now, but still worth a look, with a very good original orchestral score by Andrew Earle Simpson.

Somehow it is still an easy watch even if Lubitsch can't do all of his magic with such an inferior high society melodrama.

A mother, her college aged daughter and a guy who's both a leach and a lech act as the variables in this Ernst Lubitsch silent drama that may end how'd you expect, but takes a really interesting trip getting there.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
