Base painting of the vintage movie poster for ''We Can't Have Everything'', a 1918 silent drama film directed by Cecil B. DeMille, starring Kathlyn Williams, Elliott Dexter, and Wanda Hawley.
Set against the backdrop of World War I, "We Can't Have Everything" tells the story of Mona Gould (played by Kathlyn Williams), a wealthy and successful businesswoman who owns a munitions factory. Despite her professional success, Mona is deeply unhappy in her marriage to the aristocratic Sir Gilbert (played by Elliott Dexter), who is more interested in his social status than in his wife's feelings.
When Mona meets and falls in love with Jack Gaunt (played by Elliott Dexter), a dashing and courageous pilot in the Royal Flying Corps, she is torn between her duty to her husband and her desire for true love and happiness. As Mona and Jack's romance blossoms, they must navigate the dangers of war and the social conventions of their time in order to be together.
"We Can't Have Everything" is celebrated for its lavish production values, intricate melodrama, and stirring romance. Kathlyn Williams delivers a compelling performance as Mona, capturing the character's strength, resilience, and vulnerability with nuance and depth. Elliott Dexter shines as the charming and noble Jack, while Wanda Hawley adds charm and grace to the role of Betty, Mona's loyal friend and confidante.
Directed with flair and sophistication by Cecil B. DeMille, "We Can't Have Everything" is a captivating and emotionally resonant drama that explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the pursuit of happiness. The film's sweeping romance, stunning cinematography, and timeless storytelling continue to enchant audiences nearly a century after its release, cementing its status as a classic of silent cinema.
