Review of The Patsy

The Patsy (1928)
7/10
Marion and Marie: a great comedy duo
10 November 2023
Marion Davies plays Pat, a young girl who decides to assert herself, despite the wrath of her domineering mother and the obliviousness of her romantic target, a man who wants to date her snobbish sister. Marion Davies is absolutely charming in this silent film and Marie Dressler, as her mother, more than her match in the comedy department. The plot is slight and nothing more than excuse for a few comical hijinks as Pat works hard to get the world's attention for a change. It's silly fun from beginning to end and, despite being a silent movie, surprisingly witty. And the scene where Marion Davies does impressions of the other stars of the era is worth seeing for itself.
