Rich girl Lally Marlett (Norma Shearer) is shocked when her father leaves her mother for Beth Chevers, but things get more complicated when Lally falls for Chevers' son.
Their Own Desire is a mildly entertaining melodrama. It isn't as clunky as most early sound films, and the performances are all good. The dialogue is pretty horrendous, though it gives us gems like "My Parisian pants are quite an Eiffel!".
Norma Shearer is quite good in the lead, and Robert Montgomery was his usual solid self. Belle Bennett hams it up a bit as the mother, and Lewis Stone is a bit stiff as the father; it's probably the worst performance I've seen from him.
