''The Vixen'' is a 1916 American silent drama film directed by J. Gordon Edwards and starring Theda Bara. This film was also titled ''The Love Pirate'' in the UK, and ''Il Pirata Dell'Amore'' in Italy. ==Plot== Elsie Drummond (Theda Bara) is the spoiled daughter of an Admiral (George Clarke) who wanted much more than her father's position in society could offer. She didn't have the ability to meet men and socialize with them, but she thinks in a way of lure them in once they were within her limited circle. However Admiral Drummond brings home a couple of men which were either young navy men with no money or old high-ranking men with a good salary. Elsie was looking for young, handsome and rich. After all, her father gave her everything materially she wanted. It was only natural she would want that and more. According to Elsie's plans the ideal man had to be delivered to her first. Elsie's own sister, Helen (Mary G. Martin), was not spoiled like her. In fact, she was educated, worked and, while enjoying family life with her father and sister, wanted to make her own way in the world. Outgoing and trust worthy, she brought the occasional boyfriend Knowles (Herbert Heyes) into the house to introduce him to her family. For Elsie, this was a great opportunity. She could lure him in a loaded good-looking guy and marry him. At the end Helen convinces Knowles to take back Elsie, once Knowles did know his wife was scheming to trade him for a richer man. It was Helen's goodness and strength that made him believe that, somehow, he and Elsie could have made it together. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Vixen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
