"Her Code of Honor" is and early example of the far fetched melodramas that were to be John M. Stahl's trade mark in the silent period.
The action switches between 1895 Paris and the then present following two generations and giving star Florence Reed a double role. Film form is quite sophisticated for the still early days of fiction features but the characteristic preposterous melodrama robs the piece of any weight. It does however have the extraordinary moment of William Desmond bursting into hysterical laughter when told that he has been making out with his sister.
Passable performances buried in obvious studio decors.
