Male and Female is a 1919 silent film directed by Cecil B. Demille. Its main themes include gender relations and social class. 1919 was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ... Cecil Blount DeMille (August 12, 1881 - January 21, 1959) was one of the most successful filmmakers during the first half of the 20th century. ... Gender, for the purposes of this article, is the perceived or projected (self-identified) masculinity or femininity of a person or characteristic. ... Social class refers to the ranking of people into a hierarchy within a culture. ...

The film centers around the relationship between Lady Mary Loam (played by Gloria Swanson), a British aristocrat, and her butler, Crichton. Crichton fancies a romance with Mary, but she disdains him because of his lower social class. When the two and some others are shipwrecked on a desert island, they are left to fend for themselves in a state of nature. The aristocrats' abilities to survive are far worse than those of Crichton, and a role reversal ensues, with the butler becoming a king among the stranded group. Crichton and Mary are about to wed on the island when the group is rescued. Upon returning to Britain, Crichton chooses not to marry Mary; instead, he asks a maid, Tweeny (who had fancied Crichton throughout the film), to marry him, and the two move to the United States. Gloria Swanson (March 27, 1897 - April 4, 1983) was an American actress. ... State of nature is a term in political philosophy used to describe the hypothetical or empirical condition of humanity when or if government did not exist. ...
