"How Could You, Jean?" is a 1918 silent film. It starred Mary Pickford, directed by William Desmond Taylor, and was based on a novel by Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd. Casson Ferguson was the male lead; Spottiswoode Aitken and a young ZaSu Pitts had supporting roles.

The plot involves a young socialite pretending to be a cook, who falls in love with a man she thinks is a hired hand, but he is actually a millionaire. The film was not well received by critics, who generally found it pleasant but dull. [ A list of reviews is incluided in Bruce Long's Taylorology, http://www.public.asu.edu/~ialong/Taylor24.txt]

This was Taylor’s last future with Pickford; he was killed in 1922 in a famously unsolved murder.
