Saturday Night
Two couples, two social classes, and a director who had learned exactly how much scandal a lobby could hold.
What
A 1922 colour lithograph poster, about 105 by 72 centimetres, for the Cecil B. DeMille production for Paramount.
Why
DeMille's early-twenties cycle of marriage-and-manners pictures invented a durable commercial formula: preach restraint, photograph luxury. This sheet is that bargain made visible, promising both the transgression and the moral.
Notice
The class contrast staged inside the composition — costume and setting doing the plot summary that the copy line avoids.
“Luxury as the warning and the lure at once.”
