• A 1920’s variation on Pygmalion—or the rich man and poor girl seen through the ages in films like My Fair Lady and Pretty Women
  • The main reason to archive the film is the performance of Clara Bow—endlessly charming—a great screen presence. There’s an inarguable universality to the narrative as well that’s appealing-timeless
  • The driving force and name of the story is the Elinor Glyn “It” book (and the story here is unrelated) though it references it often and she even appears in the film. “It” means many things- but mostly sex appeal.
  • Gary Cooper is in there somewhere as an extra
  • Thought to be a lost film until the 1960’s
  • A shop girl and an executive
  • Scenes like her making a dress to go to the Ritz, and the date montage at Coney Island
  • Recommend but not in the top 10 of 1927
