Highly Overrated But Still Good
Dreadfully Boring
A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
This 1922 comedy/romance was filmed by the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, starring Wallace Reid, Bebe Daniels and Conrad Nagel, three very popular stars of the day. Sadly this film's whereabouts are listed as unknown and hopefully a copy survives and resurfaces, for now all I can offer the reader is a brief synopsis.Theodora (Teddy) Gloucester ( Bebe Daniels ) is known in the jazz age group as one of the " nice people."
