🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy from the clash between the heroine's childish sincerity and her desperate attempts at maturity. It relies on the eloquent physicality of silent cinema to explore the universal pangs of unrequited first love and adolescent longing.

Those who tire of overly cynical romances will find a charming, heartfelt simplicity here. What lingers after the final reel is the genuine pathos and comedic grace of a young soul navigating heartache. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: King Vidor
