Mary Pickford's first talkie also sees her shorn of the long golden tresses that made her such a recognisable star of the silent era. She's a flirtatious Southern Belle from a respectable family who's seeing a boy from the wrong side of the tracks (Johnny Mack Brown), much to the chagrin of her traditionally-minded father (John St. Polis). Although Pickford won an Oscar for her performance, the film is something of a plod, with all concerned apparently struggling to come to terms with the new technology of sound.
