Actually from 1926, one of the Miss Brooks' first credited roles and ones that have survived thankfully' This movie could only have been improved with more Louise, when she is on screen it is impossible to take your eyes off her, well at least for me
Was Louise Brooks ever NOT one of the most beautiful women on screen? She's almost luminous here, especially next to most of the other players. There's also a great inside joke involving the car. When Sterling calls his wife, he says his Uncle George Stitch left him the shares. Sterling's real name was George Ford Stitch! Thanks for the upload.
Fun movie with great cast. Louise Brooks is certainly not your typical girl next store. She's mis-cast but it's great to see her. She tells off the blow hard Aubrey (calls him a four-flusher!?!), and he's repentant and saves the day. Fun times.
*I really enjoyed it!* I came for Louise Brooks and got impressed by Ford Sterling's perfomance. He had a long career and among many roles he played the Keystone Cops' Police Chief.
Just short of 100 years ago, my great grandmother could have been watching this..... Louise Brooks looks so modern, she could walk in any fashion show & be totally hot
Vanadium and Manganese both actually _will_ prevent rusting and corrosion. Just as Joe stated of his invention and as Aubrey boasted during his sales pitch. And as always Louise Brooks was an absolute knock out!
A thoroughly enjoyable film, despite its great age. The facial expressions are completely modern and belie the film's being almost 100 years old. The obnoxious braying of Ford's character is worth viewing by itself. I still wonder how a blowhard like him could capture lovely Lois Wilson's heart!
Gregory Kelly, the brother, was already ill when he made this movie & died a year later. He was married to Ruth Gordon & made just 2 films. Ford Sterling is a real hoot playing this super annoying character---he was mainly known as the Police Chief of the Keystone Cops.
Credit the naturalism of the acting to director Malcolm St. Clair. Miss Brooks disgraced herself when she described St. Clair as an incompetent and drunk. A pity.
Far more interesting for a fan of silent film is watching Ford Sterling. Let the Louise Brooks cult (yes it's a political/feminist thing and not just her beauty or acting) chatter on, the rest of us find interesting watching the grad of Keystone comedy do more substantial work. No goatee or mugging for the camera as was his trademark in the prior decade.
Love Louise Brooks! And it's fun to see the silent version of a film better known through its sound remakes.

Yes, he really did a great job in this film, quite funny!

I Wonder If Louise Brooks Could Have Been A Star, If She Were In Hollywood Now.Of Course As She Was Then !! The Most Beautiful Actress In Hollywood!!
Lo necesito en español 😅 te quiero mucho Louise Brooks ❤
43:26 Broad Street Station, razed in 1953.
I suspect several of these exterior buildings still exist.
Nice film ❤

Yeah, she was the only one fooled by his hooey, but he came through in the end and all's well.
Louise Brooks bella eternamente 12:56

The Narcissist would have been a more accurate title.
IN THE ORIGINAL, STERLING WALK OUT, ON THE 50,0O0 OFFER. A SCENE IS MISSING!!!!!!!!!
Came for Louise Brooks, stayed for Ford Sterling. 46:54 I mean...
Such a shame about Gregory Kelly..he seemed very talented.
They could have used Durium. It cannot rust…
What’s the intro of the song called?
Remade with Spencer Tracy and again with red Skelton and Marilyn Maxwell. I haven’t seen this version. (Original?)
Domage qu'il n y aps de sous titre en Français! si non c'est un bon film.
