The Flapper and the Fisherman
1 September 2012
Young New Yorkers move their party to a yacht, which breaks down and anchors for a week of repairs off New Harbor, Maine. Going ashore, they soak up romance. Likable local Richard Barthelmess (as John Alden) romances flapper Louise Guff (as Patricia Vane). Mr. Barthelmess' sweet and innocent sister Anne Cornwall (as Betty Alden) attracts Ms. Gruff's fiancé George Stewart (as Reggie Van Zandt). Culture clashes involve fashion and church. Thanks to town gossip Tammany Young (as Donald Peabody), Barthelmess catches his sister rolling dice on the yacht. This little tableau doesn't approach the quality of Barthelmess and director Henry King's classic "Tol'able David" (1921), but the location is nice.

***** The Seventh Day (2/6/22) Henry King ~ Richard Barthelmess, Louise Guff, Anne Cornwall, George Stewart
