Male and Female is a 1919 American silent adventuredrama film directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Gloria Swanson and Thomas Meighan. Its main themes are gender relations and social class. The film is based on the J. M. Barrie play The Admirable Crichton.

The film centers on the relationship between Lady Mary Loam Swanson, a British aristocrat, and her butler, Crichton Meighan. Crichton fancies a romance with Mary, but she disdains him because of his lower social class. When the two and some others are shipwrecked on a deserted island, they are left to fend for themselves in a state of nature.The aristocrats abilities to survive are far worse than those of Crichton, and a role reversal ensues, with the butler becoming a king among the stranded group. Crichton and Mary are about to wed on the island when the group is rescued. Upon returning to Britain, Crichton chooses not to marry Mary instead, he asks a maid, Tweeny who was attracted to Crichton throughout the film, to marry him, and the two move to the United States. ........
