Snoozer, Quaker, whatever. This movie is a tough slog.
Marion Davies is the youngest remaining member of some Quaker sect. Arriving in town is Tommy Hollywood and his mom. He is introduced to his long-lost cousin Marion and he drags her into society.
This movie is so plodding I felt like I was reading a book full of title cards, interspersed with some scenes of live people, none of whom ever did anything interesting.
Even the little show they put on, where Marion is allegedly putting her talents to entertaining use, is entirely dull. I can't believe anyone in 1922 thought that was amusing.
It didn't take me long to use my PVR to FFW through this movie. It was painful, to be honest.
