The Average Woman
Reporter Jimmy Munroe is writing an article on "the average woman". He meets Sally Whipple in the library and chooses her as a likely subject, following her around to gather material for his article, and eventually falls in love with her. Her father, Judge Whipple, doesn't like it; he has Jimmy arrested and allows him to see Sally only once a week. Meanwhile, disreputable businessman Van Alten is after Sally, and tries to pressure her into marrying him by threatening to release letters he says will embarrass her father.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic romantic narrative around the clash between genuine emotion and social constraint. It relies on the tension between heartfelt desire and the pressure of paternal and financial authority to drive its plot forward.
What lingers after viewing is a charming portrait of 1920s courtship, where love must navigate both prejudice and outright blackmail. The resolution satisfyingly affirms sentiment over calculation. — MovieFinder Editorial
