    Olive Thomas' most famous role. Of her films that remain, this one is in the best condition, and the one that is most available. Olive is credited with being the first "flapper", and starting the trend which would become such a big thing in the 1920's, although she wouldn't live to see any of that.

Selznick Pictures was really putting together films that were nicely put together technically and visually. The snow scene really stands out. ...
