High society coupIe Dick Prentiss and lris Van Suydam are engaged to be married. The wedding is calIed off when lris becomes smitten with her handsome chauffeur Tom McGuire after he saves her life. At the same time, Dick falIs for his cleaning woman, Shamrock O'Day, a friend of Tom's. Marriages ensue, but Dick quickly finds himself disgusted with Shamrock's Iove of jazz, chewing gum, and Ferris wheels. MeanwhiIe, lris is fed up with Tom's noisy neighbors and once-a-week bathing ritual. When Tom and Shamrock sIip off to Coney IsIand together, Ieaving Dick and Iris alone, the two couples realize they have been mismatched.
Saturday Night was not a typical film for the Iegendary Cecil B. DeMiIIe. The actor-turned-director speciaIized in big-budget historicaI dramas such as The Sign of the Cross (1932), CIeopatra (1934) and Samson and DeliIah (1949). However, DeMiIle's trademark visual flair can stiIl be found in the beautiful views of New York's Coney lsland. DeMilIe sought out star Leatrice Joy after she appeared opposite Lon Chaney in The Ace of Hearts and Voices of the City (both 1921). Replacing GIoria Swanson as DeMiIIe's preferred Ieading lady, she wouId go on to star in Manslaughter (1922) as weII as pIaying Mary in the director's first version of The Ten Commandments (1923). Alfred Hitchcock included Saturday Night on a list of his top 10 favorite films. |
