About Madame Sherry
Periodically, Edward Sherry has received sums of money from his uncle Theophilus, because he made his uncle believe that he had a wife and children. When Theophilus comes to visit with his niece Yvonne, who has just left a convent, Edward hires a wife and borrows children to perpetuate the ruse.
Directed by Ralph Dean, Madame Sherry leans on a strong ensemble — Gertrude McCoy, Frank O'Connor, H.J. Quealy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1917.
