Men Who Have Made Love to Me


1918

Brief Synopsis

The story of six affairs of the heart, drawn from controversial feminist author Mary MacLane's. None of MacLane's affairs - with "the bank clerk," "the prize-fighter," "the husband of another," and so on - last, and in each of them MacLane emerges dominant. Re-enactments of the love affairs are interspersed with MacLane addressing the camera (while smoking), and talking contemplatively with her maid on the meaning and prospects of love.

Synopsis

The sophisticated and cynical Mary MacLane becomes enamored of The Callow Youth, but soon he bores her, and she abandons him for The Literary Man. He, however, proves too domineering for the independent Mary, and she leaves him for the baronet's Younger Son, who tries to attack her in a roadhouse. Saved by The Prize Fighter, Mary embarks on a romance with him until his sweetheart begs her to give him up. Next comes The Bank Clerk, who gives her up upon learning that she drinks and smokes. Finally an unhappy affair with The Husband of Another leaves Mary wondering whether true love really exists. Indeed it does, responds her newly married maid.
