My Best Girl, Starring Mary Pickford and Buddy Rogers

"Rich men don't chase after shopgirls for the exercise."

Buddy Rogers and Mary Pickford. The two go together like sunshine and rainbows. Buddy pretty much plays the same character as he did in Wings--a well meaning sweetheart who can be kinda dumb, really dumb. Its not very nice to lie to the girl you love about your identity, your relationship status, and just about everything else. Of course it works out in the end. I've seen this story played out in several other movies, but I think this one may be my favorite. If only because none of the other movies have Mary Pickford dancing the Charleston . Once she started her fake-flapper speech, I knew it was only a matter of minutes before the dancing would begin.
