Blondie of the Follies
I now understand the Marion Davies hype of the era, she was so good in this and I found myself laughing when I didn’t expect to. Overall, this was a cute little film, nothing really special but just what I was looking to unwind to on a cozy fall Sunday.

(This was just missing more shots of that cute Pekingese dog)
