Girls

About This Movie

So, 'Girls' from 1927 is quite a quirky little comedy with a campus setting that dives into the awkwardness of young love. The narrative revolves around the hilariously shy Tom Drake, who finds himself at the center of a betting game among the girls to see who can get that elusive kiss first. There’s a nice mix of slapstick and charm, where each attempt leads to more unpredictable scenarios, showcasing a playful tone. It’s interesting to see how the film plays with themes of social awkwardness and the lengths people will go for a simple connection. The pacing keeps it light and fun, capturing that carefree vibe of the late '20s, though it does have a few rough edges typical of silent films.

This film is a rare piece of silent comedy history, with limited availability in physical formats over the years. Most collectors seek out the original prints, as those tend to showcase the practical effects and filming style of the era best. The scarcity of this title adds a layer of intrigue, making it a desirable find for enthusiasts of early cinema and silent film collectors alike.
