My Best Girl (1927) - Sam Taylor

Mary Pickford's final silent film and the one most people consider to be the most similar to her real life. This is the film that paired her with future husband Charles "Buddy" Rogers. Pickford's performance is good here, and she has an opportunity to go all over the place as this film blends romance with comedy, slapstick, and of course melodrama. Worth a look, and certainly a highlight, but I was more impressed with her earlier performance in Stella Marris to go calling this her finest hour. It could be noted that the director, Sam Taylor came from Harold Lloyd which is where you can see a great deal of the timing in these slapstick moments may have come from.
