Marion Davies is one of the most notorious actresses of the silent era. She was considered a mere star who did costume pictures, was the mistress of William Randolph Hearst, a famous man who set to be the basis of the infamous film Citizen Kane, and was involved in numerous scandals. But Marion seriously has to be one of the most underrated actresses ever. Away from the costume pictures was her comedic timing. No one really knew that she actually had this level of comedic timing when King Vidor made both Show People and The Patsy in 1928. The Patsy is truly a comfort film for me it's so wonderful to see, I was engrossed in it all the way through. That's thankfully to the comedic charm and charisma emitted from this film that makes it so sweet and endearing. First things Marie Dressler made a major comeback with this film after a long slump in her career, in hindsight we'd know that she'd manage to become a major star during the early 30s. She's Incredible, full of tenacity and rambunctiousness, she's so funny to see, because she plays her comedy so deadpan. Marion Davies at Pat is literally one of my favourite performances I've ever seen. She carries this film with her. No because I hear people saying women ain't funny, but watch this! Marion made her laugh with joy. Her physical comedy is amazing. The way she has her facial expressions to suit every joke and comedically is wonderful. She also plays love scenes very well, like when she looked at her romantic lead with a lot of love and endearment in her eyes. And secondly, the scene where she is at Billy Caldwell's house and mimics Mae Murray, Lillian Gish and Pola Negri has to be hands down one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen. No because I was literally actually thinking damn that literally looks as if Lillian Gish made an appearance or Mae Murray etc. it was wonderful! This is just a wonderful film and I recommend it to anyone! Silent films truly reached their zenith before the era ended. And another thing to point out, this is a rare comedy with a female lead in this era, given how male dominated the comedy genre. And Marion Davies truly needs her reputation revised because she is more than the mistress of Hearst or even the basis of a famous character in Citizen Kane!
