What happens

Fascination is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring his then wife Mae Murray. The film is based on an original story by Edmund Goulding who was soon to be a prolific film director. The story capitalizes on Murray's continuing forays into outlandish costume dramas. Louis Silvers composed a song for the film, for which Ira Gershwin, under his early pen name "Arthur Francis," and Schuyler Greene wrote the lyrics. The song is dedicated to Murray.
