Dreams Come True for Ilona Ratkay (Frances Day), a popular opera singer who falls in love with gangly farm boy Anton (Nelson Keys). Not so lucky is Anton's father Albert (Hugh Wakefield), who is left all alone when his son runs off to the Big City with Ilona. Things really get sticky when Albert becomes obsessed with the notion that Ilona is actually his own illegitimate daughter! The more censurable aspects of the story are neatly skirted and circumvented with liberal doses of music and comedy. Dreams Come True is a remake of the German operetta Liebesmelodie. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Based on a novel by Sidney Gowing, Daughter in Revolt was pretty good so far as silent British programmers went. Mabel Poulton plays the madcap daughter of nobleman Edward O'Neill. Rebelling against her privileged status, Pulton goes out of her way to look for trouble. She gets in way over her head when she becomes innocently involved in a burglary. Comedies of this nature used to be churned out by the bushel in both England and Hollywood. Maybe this one was unique in some way or other, but we won't know until a print surfaces. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In an emotionally hypercharged third act, Mumsie takes drastic measures to wipe clean the blot left by her traitorous son.
