synopsis
Mack Sennett veterans Marie Prevost and Trixie Friganza enliven the proceedings of Almost a Lady. Prevost plays a model who uses the fancy clothes that she's paid to wear to crash into society. She very nearly crashes out when her ruse is exposed, but love, in the form of handsome Harrison Ford conquers all. Ms. Friganza chews the scenery as a doyenne, while George K. Arthur supplies extra laughs in one of his "faithful pal" assignments. Almost a Lady was inspired by the Frank R. Adams short story "Skin Deep".
