Fashions for Women, the 1927 Dorothy Arzner silent romantic model mistaken identity melodrama ("From the play 'The Girl of the Hour' by Gladys B. Unger from the French of Paul Armont and Leopold Marchand"; about a famous fashion model who decides to have cosmetic surgery, and she is supposed to appear afterwards at a major show, but the surgery is delayed, and she hires a lookalike to take her place, and the lookalike tries to start a romance posing as the famous model, but she doesn't know that the man she is romancing actually knows the model personally and is aware she is a fake!) starring Esther Ralston (in a dual role!), Raymond Hatton, Einar Hanson, Edward Martindel, and William Orlamond. Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.
