“My Best Girl” (1927) : Mary Pickford and the Sound of Silents

It's Tony's birthday and we commemorate the event by celebrating one of the greatest romantic comedies of the silent film era, Mary Pickford's final silent masterpiece…from 1927, “My Best Girl". Far more than just another romantic comedy, this jewel captures a pivotal moment in Hollywood history—the absolute peak of silent filmmaking just before sound would forever change the medium. What makes this nearly century-old film remarkably special is watching real romance bloom on screen. 

 Discover this classic gem and experience the magic of Hollywood's most influential pioneering star at the height of her powers.
