Just a run-of-the-mill conventional Hollywood crowd-pleasing romantic comedy.

Although the romance in the film is as predictable as ever, this movie has charm and humor, and great actors. I really enjoyed it and I recommend it.

This movie was made in 1927 but made the 1997 Toronto International Film Festival, not sure the history behind this one or why it made a film festival in 1997, but do know it had the very beautiful Mary Pickford in it, and its a silent film, all in all its an enjoyable film and a step back in time. Overall 2 1/2 stars.
