Those Little Flowers

About This Movie

Those Little Flowers, directed by Dell Henderson, is a charming little comedy from 1913 that captures the whimsical and sometimes absurd nature of domestic life. The plot revolves around Mrs. Ronald G. Saunders and her rather misguided interpretation of her husband's innocent flower purchase. It's interesting how the flowers symbolize something much deeper—miscommunication and the absurdity of marital misunderstandings. The pacing is leisurely, allowing for moments of comedic timing that are surprisingly effective. Performances are quaintly exaggerated in that early silent film style, which adds to the overall charm. The practical effects, while simple, reflect the era's creativity. It’s a delightful snapshot of a bygone time, where the smallest actions could lead to the most dramatic conclusions.
