Peg o' My Heart
PEG O MY HEART (Metro Studios, 1922), directed by King Vidor, under the supervision of J. Hartley Manners, introduces the legendary theatrical actress Laurette Taylor (1884-1946) to the screen reprising the role she made famous as a poor Irish farm girl who inherits a fortune but would rather have happiness instead. While a bit too old for the character supposedly in her late teens or early twenties, Laurette was tailor made for it.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
King Vidor constructs a charming tale that relies on the luminous performance of stage legend Laurette Taylor. The film explores the classic clash between natural virtue and artificial society, building its comedy and drama from this central contrast. Taylor's Peg, with her infectious spirit, effortlessly carries the narrative.
What lingers after the final reel is the warmth of its central message about the true meaning of wealth and belonging. A gentle, heartfelt adaptation that showcases early screen charisma. — MovieFinder Editorial
