What the Daisy Said (1910)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
D.W. Griffith film about a pair of sisters (one played by Mary Pickford) who wonder when they are going to find true love. One goes to a gypsy for her future while the other peels pedals off a daisy. I'm not sure what Griffith had against gypsies but here's another film that shows them in a very bad way. I think this is the forth or fifth film from this era that Griffith has used the film to bash these people and that doesn't even include his very first film. The movie has a somewhat good story but there's very little life to the thing. The chase at the end is among the worst I've seen from Griffith but Pickford is as charming as ever.
