Synopsis:

Pat Harrington (Marian Davies) is the patsy in her family, the forgotten good girl who watches her flirtatious sister collect all the fellas. But when sis two-times her current beau, the dreamboat Pat secretly loves, Pat seizes her chance. She knows that to get a man, a girl needs to get some personality. So she gets three, mimicking Mae Murray, Lillian Gish and Pola Negri in a daffy plot to make the dreamboat jealous. Davies radiates comic charm, highlighted by her dead-on impersonations of the three cinema divas, in this audience pleaser directed by King Vidor (The Crowd) and costarring Marie Dressler (Min and Bill) as Pat’s battle-ax of a mother. Gloriously fun and frothy, The Patsy was the biggest hit of Davies’ career.

Comments about Patsy, The (DVD):

The Patsy is a delightfully charming film from the great King Vidor. Marion Davies is hilarious as the kid sister who is always passed over for her older sister. If you're looking to get into silent films or get a friend into them this would be an excellent start.

Clear image and one to show to friends who may not think they'll like silent films. Marion Davies is extremely engaging and talented. I love this film and I hope more Marion Davies'silent films as well as her sound films will be made available. She was a greatly gifted actress!

Comments about Patsy, The (DVD):

This movie is really funny. In my mind, Marion Davies is and will always be one of the best comediennes that there ever was. This "Cinderella" movie is one of her finest, as well as Marie Dressler's!
