Review of Coquette (1929) by J. Scott F — 08 May 2014
Just couldn't make it past the first fifteen minutes. Mary Pickford's acting is obviously suited much better for the silent screen as her voice adds nothing but annoyance. Her Oscar is obviously not deserved for this role - but it allowed for the rules to be changed so that no one could charm or buy the affections of judges again.
It is interesting how these early talkies make one yearn for the silent screen, when you didn't have to try to understand what people were saying to get the plot - and the acting relied on something more than recitation.
