The main character is talented at manipulating. Unfortunately that's the only real action in the movie. She does have a challenge set out for her once she gets recklessly caught, and we see that social manipulation hasn't changed much in nearly 100 years ("if I can get her to stay over for the weekend she'll forgive me by the end of it.)
Very interesting to see the two jilted lovers accept their fates. The lady will get attention in exchange for money but never love. The man will get something similar. Many people today would call this an abusive relationship but his the movie portrays it is that they are paying the monetary cost of not being lonely.
Based on the description of the film I was expecting more wild parties than what was portrayed, but alas the parties were largely playing cards and amusing themselves.
As many commenters noted, the end scene with the dance instructor is fun. It's very amusing how he showers his student with compliments and insults at the same time.
