The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
This 1922 comedy/romance was filmed by the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, starring Wallace Reid, Bebe Daniels and Conrad Nagel, three very popular stars of the day. Sadly this film's whereabouts are listed as unknown and hopefully a copy survives and resurfaces, for now all I can offer the reader is a brief synopsis.Theodora (Teddy) Gloucester ( Bebe Daniels ) is known in the jazz age group as one of the " nice people." One night she and her companion Scotty White ( Conrad Nagel ) are stranded in a farmhouse, and she struggles to fight off his intoxicated advances. Meanwhile, Captain Billy Wade ( Wallace Reid ) has also been seeking shelter and enters the farmhouse , saving Teddy from Scotty's unwanted attentions. However, a scandal results for the girl when her father discovers her the next morning alone with Scotty. After being snubbed by her so called friends, Teddy settles down and agrees to become an old-fashioned wife to Billy.
