The Talk of the Town

1918 · 1h 0m · Comedy, Romance

Skip it. This 1923 silent comedy relies on a premise that hasn't aged well—a woman tricking a man into marriage as a punchline—and without major star power or a director's name that carries weight, there's little reason to spend your evening on a relic that's more historically interesting than actually entertaining.

Plot

Her strict upbringing is driving Genevra French (Dorothy Phillips) crazy, so when she gets her hand on a book called "How to Attract the Opposite Sex," she takes its advice to heart. She uses her newly found wiles on Lawrence Tabor (William Stowell) and gets him to marry her. Only after the wedding does she tell him she married him just to get away from her family, and that she intends to do exactly as she pleases.
