Let's Be Fashionable

About This Movie

So, 'Let's Be Fashionable' is this quirky little comedy from 1920 that sort of dances around the idea of marital norms in a light-hearted way. It's got that charming pre-code vibe where the couple finds themselves in a community with loose morals—like, who needs fidelity, right? The pacing is pretty relaxed, allowing for some delightful character interactions that feel both genuine and whimsical. I mean, you can almost hear the vintage jazz in the background as the characters navigate this absurd social landscape. The performances have a certain earnestness, even if the direction remains largely anonymous. It's a snapshot of the era’s shifting attitudes, and that makes it distinctively fascinating in a collection.

This film is probably not the easiest to track down, as it doesn’t have a widely circulated format. Most collectors seem to favor the odd silent comedy, but 'Let's Be Fashionable' often slips under the radar, which adds to its allure. While not a blockbuster by any means, its unique take on societal norms makes it a curiosity that can intrigue those interested in the evolution of film and its reflections on culture.
