Early screwball comedy

As the film world lurched through the 1920s a new genre, the screwball comedy, was emerging. Miss Bluebeard is one of those nascent efforts. A tale of mistaken identity, a mistake wedding, and too many women on hand make for a pleasant romp. Despite the poster shown here, this film is set in Paris and London, not the mysterious East. Bebe Daniels is quite delightful as a famous french actress. The male characters are all POSH British gentlemen with more ladies than they know what to do with. Martha Madison as Lulu has an amazing supporting role as one of those women., She can apparently bend in any direction! Quite fun.

Daniels is perhaps better known for her tour de force in 42nd Street and her radio work in London with husband Ben Lyon during WW II, but her silent films are usually a treat. All in all this film is worth a look and can be found on YouTube Premium.
