Get Your Man

Thanks to the magic of film we know Clara Bow will always be better than anyone else. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would with Ms Bow doing what she does best in this charming comedy. She has perfect timing and great comic ability. She is as anyone who knows of her the only person you are interested in for the whole film. That said I think Charles (Buddy) Rogers played his part so naturally that he was maybe the perfect co-star for Clara. I must make special mention of Harvey Clark who plays the Marquis De Valens. His character is such a nice surprise in the story and gets some comic turns of his own . Harvey is just as equally spot on in his role and a lot of fun to watch. I think three of the reels in this six reel film have been lost but here is still a good hour of the story to see. As has been pointed out in other reviews there is some nitrate damage in some of the frames. This is a bit distressing to see but then there are some scenes that look practically fresh in comparison with performances that are so good they may as well have been shot yesterday and the over all effect is quite "trippy". It is for me anyway. Add this film to your list and let Clara Bow distract you and put some joy in your heart.
