The Dangerous Flirt (also released as A Dangerous Flirtation) [2] is a 1924 American melodrama directed by Tod Browning and starring Evelyn Brent and Edward Earle. [3]
As described in a review in a film magazine, [4] Sheila Fairfax (Brent), reared by a puritanical aunt, is stupidly old-fashioned. Captain Ramon Jose (Gendron) inveigles her into becoming engaged to him but she breaks it. Dick Morris (Earle), a mining engineer, gallantly whisks her away and they are married. Sheila’s puritanical training makes her an easy prey to fears on her wedding night. Dick misunderstands her timidity for disgust and leaves her. She follows him to South America and they become the guests of Don Alfonso, uncle of Ramon Jose. The Don and Jose vie for her regard and in a fight Jose is killed by his uncle. Dick faces a firing squad under the Don’s orders but Sheila saves him by a ruse and they escape, happily reunited.
With no prints of The Dangerous Flirt located in any film archives, [5] it is a lost film. [6]
