Coquette (1929)

A Southern belle's flirtation with a working man leads to tragedy.

DirSam Taylor CastMary Pickford , John Mack Brown , Matt Moore .
76 min, TV-PG
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Sam Taylor. Mary Pickford, John Mack Brown, Matt Moore, John Sainpolis, William Janney, Henry Kolker, George Irving, Louise Beavers. Pickford's first talkie, for which she won an Oscar playing an ill-tempered flapper who becomes involved with a man who is beneath her station, resulting in tragedy. This stilted, artificial melodrama is a curio at best, notable as a showcase for Pickford's ''new,'' modern screen personality. Based on a play which was a famous vehicle for Helen Hayes.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Sidney Franklin. Norma Shearer, Basil Rathbone, George Barraud, Herbert Bunston, Hedda Hopper, George K. Arthur. Young woman who has charmed a group of British society types turns out to be involved with a ring of jewel thieves. Very much an early-talkie stage play, with some terribly arch performances, but still quite watchable. Based on the play by Frederick Lonsdale. Remade in 1937.

D: Robert Z. Leonard. Norma Shearer, Chester Morris, Conrad Nagel, Robert Montgomery, Florence Eldridge. Stagy but interesting tale of young wife Shearer who puts up with husband Morris' flirtations until she decides to equal him. Shearer won an Oscar for this performance.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Lloyd Bacon. Dorothy Mackaill, Lewis Stone, Natalie Moorhead, Hobart Bosworth, Joan Blondell, Blanche Frederici. Sexy secretary (Mackaill) at a publishing company sets a trap for her wealthy older boss (Stone), who resists her charms until he learns his young new bride (Moorhead) is cheating. Charmingly dated piece of "naughty'' fluff, with sassy support by Blondell as Mackaill's impudent sister and Frederici in a bizarre bit as an ultra-masculine, cigar-smoking authoress.

D: George Hill. Wallace Beery, Lewis Stone, Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Johnny Mack Brown, Ralph Bellamy, Marjorie Rambeau, John Miljan. Hard-boiled gangster saga with powerhouse cast; sluggish at times, but worth seeing for milk-drinking racketeer Beery, aristocratic crime lord Stone, moll-with-a-heart-of-gold Harlow, et al.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Fred Newmeyer, Sam Taylor. Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, Bill Strothers, Noah Young. Crackerjack silent comedy about go-getter Harold determined to make good in the big city includes his justly famous building- climbing sequence--still hair-raising after all these years.

D: Sam Taylor, Fred Newmeyer. Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, Brooks Benedict, James Anderson, Hazel Keener. One of Lloyd's best-remembered films casts him as collegiate patsy who'll do anything to be popular on campus, unaware that everyone is making fun of him. Football game finale is one of several comic highlights. A real audience-rouser.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Sam Taylor, Fred Newmeyer. Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, Josephine Crowell, Charles Stevenson, Mickey McBan, Pat Harmon. Typically entertaining silent comedy feature with Lloyd, atypically, as a put-upon husband. Not as strong as Lloyd's best comedies; built instead on three lengthy set pieces, but they're very funny indeed--especially the ride on the trolley and a trouble-prone automobile outing with the family.
