The Ghost of Rosy Taylor
George Periolat plays a dual role in this film, initially as Joseph Sayles a sickly old man who has taken his daughter, Rhoda (played by Mary Miles Minter), overseas after a quarrel with his family. She yearns to return home, but he has disowned his past. After his death, Rhoda ventures to America on her own. She nearly becomes destitute for a lack of money but happens upon some questionable fortune as she takes on the chores of Rosy Taylor after inadvertently finding an envelope with money in it. Rosy had been hired as a housekeeper (thus the money), but has passed away before actually showing up for employment.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs a narrative on the contrast between melancholic family drama and situational comedy, relying on George Periolat's dual role as its foundation. It explores self-invention in a new land, where identity can be borrowed from the departed.
What lingers after the final reel is a charming, bittersweet feeling of resilience, where a ghost's name becomes a young woman's lifeline. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Edward Sloman
