My Best Girl: Review

starstarstarstar
Wholesome, tearjerking sentimental melodrama, featuring America's Sweetheart, Mary Pickford. Smart, sensible Maggie Johnson (Pickford) is a stock girl at the local five-and-dime. She lives at home with her mailman father (Lucien Littlefield), funeral-obsessed mother (Sunshine Hart) and snooty, boy-crazy sister (Carmelita Geraghty), and it's obvious that the family would fall apart without her. Maggie falls in love with Joe (Charles Roger), the new clerk at work, not knowing that he's the owner's son. He, naturally, also falls for her, and gives up his high-society fiancee. His father tries to buy Maggie off, but she's too good to stand between a man and his father, so she offers to give up Joe. This convinces Joe's father that Maggie is indeed a worthy match for his son despite her humble origins, and all's well that ends well. This formulaic romantic comedy isn't high art, but many viewers were relieved to see Pickford return to the sort of sweet, sentimental role that had made her famous. Her previous film, the grim, swamp-country melodrama Sparrows (1926), in which she played the de facto leader of a clan of abused and unwanted children who spend an awful lot of time trying not to get eaten by alligators, was a rather darker picture than Pickford fans favored for their idol. leave a comment
