What Others Said

Darrick38: Olive Thomas' most famous role. Of her films that remain, this one is in the best condition, and the one that is most available. Olive is credited with being the first "flapper", and starting the trend which would become such a big thing in the 1920's, although she wouldn't live to see any of that. At this point, she was at the top of her game, and engaging in every scene. The film itself is quite likeable. Well-filmed and well-acted, it's a solid movie. Selznick Pictures was really putting together films that were nicely put together technically and visually. The snow scene really stands out. Frances Marion, who has been called "the all-time best script and story writer the motion picture world has ever produced", and its most prolific, wrote the scenario and story for this film, one of 325 she would write in her career.
