A rare phenomenon of the American cinema, Cecil B. DeMille's THE CHEAT (from a screenplay by Hector Turnbull) is a film that continues to arrest, arouse and enthrall. Establishing a narrative formula that he would cling to in years to come, DeMille wove the tale of a wayward wife whose impulsive indiscretions propel her into public scandal, private shame and marital turmoil. Gambling away the Red Cross funds she has been entrusted with, the social climbing Edith Hardy (Fannie Ward) must turn to an Asian ivory trader (Sessue Hayakawa) to cover the loss and save her reputation among the "Long Island smart set." Only later does Edith realize that by accepting the loan she has become Arakau's property.
