It's title suggests light romantic comedy, but The Mating Call is, for most of its running time, a tale of love turned sour after doughboy Thomas Meighan returns home to find his bride (Evelyn Brent) has annulled their marriage and wed the leader of the local KKK. Things only lighten up when cute little immigrant Renee Adoree shows up and begins bathing piglets. Enjoyable enough, but it feels curiously incomplete.
