  • "Lord Windermere accetta di aiutare finanziariamente Mrs. Erlynne, avventuriera di dubbia fama, a patto che non riveli di essere la madre di sua moglie. Ma Lady Windermere crede che il marito la tradisca: e sta per compromettersi irrimediabilmente con un suo corteggiatore, lord Darlington, quando Mrs. Erlynne decide di sacrificarsi per lei.

  • "Londres après la guerre, ravagé par les bombardements. La vieille Mrs. Erlynne a la stupéfaction d'assister à la mise aux enchères, dans une petite salle des ventes, d'un éventail lui ayant appartenu.

  • "In this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's comedy of manners, the cause of much confusion is the sensational and indiscreet Mrs Erlynne. She returns to London, sends for Lord Windermere and reveals that she is his wife's mother, long thought deceased. When the notorious woman demands payment for her secrecy, a satiric comedy of errors ensues. Considered by many to be Lubitsch's best silent film, Lady Windermere's Fan is noteworthy for its incisive detail, discreet touches and precise nuances. (Circulates)."

Then, in an act of striking generosity, Mrs. Erlynne protects Lady Windermere's reputation and the truth about trust and loyalty is ironically revealed."@en
