A pretty pleasant trip back in time to the final year of the Roaring Twenties. The 1920's fashions are a delight. All those bobbed hairstyles and cloche hats ! The girls are filmed on a boat to Catalina and also heading up the funicular railway at Mount Lowe.

Coquette ( 1929)
As a founding member of United Artists, Pickford had total control of her work. At her Pickfair studio, she had installed one of the first sound studios. The many issues encountered during the making of Coquette, from heavy footsteps or rattling jewelry, to the soundtrack going completely out of sync during the premiere, were later hilariously lampooned in Singin' in the Rain 1952.
Pickford won best actress in the 1928/29 Oscars. As a founding member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, she was accused by some of perhaps unfairly winning, but her performances was generally acclaimed.
Original Title:
