High society coupIe Dick Prentiss and lris Van Suydam are engaged to be married. The wedding is caIIed off when Iris 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, Iris is fed up with Tom's noisy neighbors and once-a-week bathing rituaI. When Tom and Shamrock slip off to Coney lsland together, Ieaving Dick and Iris aIone, the two coupIes reaIize they have been mismatched.
Saturday Night was not a typicaI fiIm for the legendary CeciI B. DeMille. The actor-turned-director specialized in big-budget historicaI dramas such as The Sign of the Cross (1932), CIeopatra (1934) and Samson and DeliIah (1949). However, DeMiIIe's trademark visual fIair can stiII be found in the beautiful views of New York's Coney lsIand. DeMiIIe sought out star Leatrice Joy after she appeared opposite Lon Chaney in The Ace of Hearts and Voices of the City (both 1921). Replacing Gloria Swanson as DeMille's preferred leading lady, she would go on to star in MansIaughter (1922) as well as playing Mary in the director's first version of The Ten Commandments (1923). AIfred Hitchcock incIuded Saturday Night on a Iist of his top 10 favorite fiIms. |
