It (1927)

- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2014
- "It" is a 1927 silent romantic comedy film which tells the story of a shop girl who sets her sights on the handsome and wealthy boss of the department store where she works. Because of this film, actress Clara Bow became a major star of the highest magnitude, and as result, became known as the "It girl".
90 years later and I'm sitting here like "omg I want to be her best friend!" She's timeless.
Most actresses and actors from this period, including the two male stars in this film, seem rather dated now. Not Clara.
PickUpTheDarnBook Have you seen *Wings?* Oh pease, tell me if you have ^^
Same girl!! Clara is amazing !!!
Totally. She’s so cool and cute
Nah she would probably spit on me since I am black😕
It's amazing how contemporary Clara is. She would fit so well in today's movies as well. Just love her.
Who else loves these movies just so you can see the great old furniture, sets, clothes, and jewelry? Small apartments then were HUGE by today's standards.
She's completely irresistible. I couldn't take my eyes off her wondrously expressive face.
first clara bow movie i see and... she really has IT!
also, am i the only one who feels sorry for her friend with the baby and all?
NO, you're not....that part is very hard to watch.
I think all silent movies should be public domain and considered heritage of humanity.
this flick will be in the public domain Jan 1 2023 :)
@@samanthabuttheadd Is it really it's 2023 now
@@VICINITYOFANRII yes and other flicks from 1927 as well!
@@samanthabuttheadd Thank you so much for letting me know!
I mean since it'll only be a few more years until ALL Silent Films go completely Public Domain that's pretty much going to happen anyway.
I absolutely adore Clara and her acting! As one article on her said - she makes all the other actors look like wooden dolls compared to her and her absolute skill and raw talent for acting! Her face is incredibly expressive and overall, I think all of us can agree she's got 'IT'!
Wow, I can see why Clara Bow became such a hit. Her acting is more lively and natural than a lot of more famous people decades after her, and all this without even saying a word (that the audience hears)!
it's also really cool to see the real people of the 1920s actually in motion. Yeah I know this is a movie, not quite reality. But most of them look so much more like average people than the Hollywood actors of today.
Agree, this is one silent film where they seem so much more alive than the characters in so many other silents I've seen.
And yes, "average" looking people, not ridiculously gorgeous people we have now haha
Right-O!
The cost for the all actors in this is suppose to be one of reasons the film failed financially.
@@robwalker4548 "It" a flop? You're making up things.
One of the best silents, Bow's charm transcends time.
Ninety years later she's still the "It" girl
This is time travel at it's best.
I can only imagine how much of a delight this was to see in the theatre. What a sensational film and a mesmerizingly timeless leading lady.
Spot on 👏🏻..The IT girl was is and always will be IT HIT girl immortal!!! How u doin ? ..frm London!🎯
I love how this movie shows a lot of things that were uncommon back then as being normal, like a single mother or working girl ;)
It was more common than you think. People (the church, media, etc.) just didn't talk about it. You have to remember that men died in WW1 and poverty and drunkeness lead to suicide, etc. and many homes were fatherless, especially when the depression hit. The Good Ole Days weren't so good.

Yeah you’re right actually. I’ve learned a bit more since I made that comment. Definitely we romanticize the past too much. The early 20th century was objectively miserable. There were some nice things here and there, and ofc people were able to have a good time, but that socio-political situation can stay where it is lol
My grandmother was born in the 1890s. When she was six years old, her mother abandoned the family. My great grandfather, who was a heavy drinker, sent my grandmother off to a convent until she was a teenager. She then returned to live with her father. No one knows what happened to my great grandmother. It was a pain that my grandmother kept with her until the day she died. Yes, there was disfunction, even in the so called good old days.
@@geraldobrien7323
Yeah that’s really sad, and yeah ofcourse but the movies make everything seem like it was perfect :/
i was tickled pink by this film. i can see now what the fuss was about clara bow. she is very charismatic, plucky and endearing. the film is actually excellent; really good story telling and characters that you care about. a classic film that deserves its classic status and an archetypal early hollywood icon that deserves her mantle.
The film had "IT"!!
What is It ? It's It
@@douglasvancier7683
Bro unironically said "I was tickled pink"
Clara Bow is timeless and an authentic piece of art. How marvelous and charming she IS.
This is an old movie, but Clara is as fresh as a bowl of strawberries. If only she was born in a time when movies were more advanced, she'd be as famous as Marilyn. But now she will go down in history as a pioneer.
She was immensely famous for her time, and people who know film know who she is.
@@patricias5122Yes, but I feel like these days very few people know her name apart from those who specialize in movie history - take for instance Greta Garbo and Gloria Swanson who are much better known these days among general public. I've even seen contemporary countdowns on silent era movie stars that completely ignore Clara even though she was probably the most famous star of her day and massively popular. It's kinda sad really.
@@peponwi2716Taylor Swift just gave some light into her existence by paying a little homage to her in her album and Fortnight music video. Everyone looking for Clara Bow ❤❤
I love how she still has both high heel shoes on after the struggle and swimming in the water lol
I have been reading up on Miss Bow. Seems the had a heart issue that went undiagnosed since she was very young. After her death they found scaring on her heart from a previous heart attack, that no one knew about. And was suffering from a mental illness. To me this shows how tough minded and determined she was. That IT factor everyone talks about, Miss Bow had IT in spades and it clearly shows in this film.
Clara Bow is timeless. She just lights up the screen. Absolutely beautiful too.
If the tiny baby Toodles 13:55 was born in 1927, it'd be 90 years old today! How time flies!
Toodles was killed fighting in World War 2!
@@N2LADIES55 *well that changed the mood..*
@@bbstudiosandcrap7651 I was joking and don't know what happened to Toodles.
@@N2LADIES55 oh oof, sorry m8
As it turns out, the baby was a baby girl named Cheryl Holt. Though that's all that can really be found about her.
96 years and still cool to look at
On of the best cute romantic silent movies I've ever sent
Clara Bow did it!
So ahead of her time. She was very natural and convincing while others were theatrical and stoic.
I know !! One of my favorite movies now ..so awesome..love Clara🌺🦋I think Ytube has done so much to " bring back these great movies ...Hula" is another favorite !!!! She plays a girl named "HULA IN HAWAII. w another hunk actor Cleve Brook -- hubba hubba💚💚😘😘oh I wish my Grandmom & her sisters my great Aunt's could be here still to watch these w me ....I d always heard of Clara Bowv...when they were still here but darn never thought to ask ..I loved old movies bk to the 30's these are 20's...darn I just didn't think..& I WE LIVED W GRANDMOM .Mom & I would stay up late late show ...but not much 20's silent movies ..I just thought they were silly like keystone Cops .I can't believe I didn't watch them & really get n2 them more ..I think I just remembered why ...it's BECAUSE THE NETWORKS DIDN'T SHOW THE SILENT MOVIES .they just went back as far as 50's ,40's some 30's that's Why .. Then VHS. & DVDs ...but too late they were still alive but old er ..nobody mentioned how great the silent s were....!! I do remember Granmom raving about Jean Harlow" she loved her.......🦋but I Do know if GM was here now & Mom too they would Love watching these AGAIN.......I would of LOVED to of gone to Clara & her Husband's cafe too & meet her!!!!🦋😔
The makeup they put on the men so they’d film better is downright creepy at times. Still, it’s great to see how expressive they are without sound. And Clara Bow had such eyes!
They were called “pasty faces” because of the pale powder...
A critic wrote in the 20s that Valentino was a pink powder puff because of his makeup. This comment caught on with a lot of male readers who derided the superstar and the stress was one contributing factor to his early death. Sad!
@@f.w.2054 That's not what he meant by pink powder puff. He was referring to his masculinity and not because of the makeup.
None the less, the term stuck, and was interpreted by many as a slight toward Valentinos masculinity!
Clara Bow is the best actress of the silent era by far :D
She's very subtle in her gestures and movements, much like Charlie Chaplin was, perhaps it was the style of the time
Most beautiful person that ever graced a movie screen and brought joy to people's faces.
My favourite actress of all time.
Clara Bow.
5 years on from your comment but we are talking about a movie made nearly 100 years ago! But i more than agree, Clara Bow is also my favourite actress :)
@@solidcrow3319 Aw thank you so much :) I'm so happy Clara lives on through other people who admire her too!
@@mistyo2158 what she did was timeless and an inspiration to so many others since :)
These silent films make me so happy :) I love vintage movies! Clara bow is so beautiful 🌸💕💕💕💕💕
She just glows.
34:44 A Marilyn moment before Marilyn.
Exactly!!!!
yep.
NO....they were very different.
Antonio Moreno was top heavy with "IT" TOO! lol. What a yummy, adorable pair they were! This delightful, fun romp will live forever!!!
Great movie and Clara Bow deserves to be remembered. What's strange though is how there was a time when ITV would commission a remaster and a new score for a silent film. This wouldn't happen now.
Wonderful, wonderful, a superstar in every way! Her beautiful eyes, she lit up the screen, i couldnt take my eyes off her. How could Clara Bow ever have been forgotten, it makes no sense.
Ah Clara Bowe...she is my all time favourite silent movie actress, she is my icon, my role model, she dragged herself literally out of the gutter (upbringing) and despite all the crap she went through she was so successful in what she did despite being mentally ill and going through so much pain. She will always be my heroine, she is just amazing in every way and I wish to be just like her one day, pulling myself out of my gutter (mentally and physically) and succeeding as much as she did XD
I wish you all the best ♥
I highly recommend Clara Bow: Runnin' Wild to anyone interested in her. It's such a great bio. Her story was so very tragic and heartbreaking and she was such a darling, sweet person.
What was her *voice* like?
@@Daniel-Rosa. there's clips of it on youtube. She has a thick New York accent
@@Makaylah13 She became sexualized at an early age due to sexual abuse by her father. Mental health issues and PTSD. Calling her names is uncalled for. If she did what so many other people did back then, I don't get why you are singling her out. Having multiple sexual partners doesn't make someone a bad person. She settled down into a quiet life after she married Rex Bell and devoted herself to being a wife and mother. And she was a far better parent than her own parents were to her.
Muirmaiden still wasn’t right
@@Daniel-Rosa. , her last film, “Hoop-La”, included sound and only magnified her appeal.
1927 was Clara Bow's year. This and "Wings". And, yes, she had 'it', by the truckload.
Yes, Wings is such a great film! Clara Bow’s part was small but important, she was wonderful ! < 3
Gary Cooper, too, who was just starting out. In 1927, he was in three films with Clara Bow: as the reporter in *It,* as Richard Arlen and Buddy Rogers' tentmate in *Wings,* and as Bow's love interest in *Children of Divorce.* He got the latter two films with Bow's help.
Such a natural for the silent film ..Clara gives her usual excellent performance...proving a look can portray 1000 words !
The *right* music score helps aid the viewer's enjoyment of silent classics immensely.
clara is so pretty! her resting face is gorgeous… she’s my it girl ❤
Clara Bow just makes me feel good. A few minutes watching her just helps me get through the day. And I cant compliment the music either. Brilliant. Spot-on. Please do more of these. The music can make or break the film, and watching them with no sound is hard.
The way the dress. They all looked gorgeous and elegant.
How was this almost a century ago? I wish celebrities today would watch these movies and learn a lesson. Clara really had “IT”
i hope by miracle, keyword miracle, that some of Clara Bow's lost films, survive out there in a film archive, even if it is overseas, awaiting to be rediscovered.
At the 48 minute mark, she cried real tears. For 1927, that was some amazing acting...
It definitly proves that what actually makes a good successful movie is just two factors; 1 - Great story and 2 - Great acting performance. That's IT!
What a great movie, & Clara Bow was clearly a fantastic actress. It's almost a CENTURY later, & Clara Bow is still, "IT".
A Hollywood gossip columnist of the time wrote of Clara Bow, "She doesn't need IT; she has THOSE." By 1929, Bow was poised to make a successful transition to talking pictures, but she became mired in scandal. Her popularity evaporated, and with it, her career. She was 25.
Thanks for uploading this. I think everyone here is in love with Clara lol I wish she could’ve known how appreciated she would be for the rest of movie history.
I like watching these old silent movies.
but honestly at this time... Mary Pickford became has-been. Theda Bara was also fading... my my...
+Ife's Voice Me too.
Me too. Wish some theaters would do a silent movie week or weekend.
@@rileyfoxx6633: Hah! Yer damn right...
Me too
Love this so much. Clara is so adorable and such a class act.
A Clara Bow classic.🎥
One of her most famous and successful movie⭐⭐.
Such a twenties legend. 🧚♀️🌟
Excellent. This holds up more than 90 years later.
Just like Monroe years later the camera loved Clara. She was still pert and trim in 1927 and in her element here - silent films. She considered microphones distracting and limiting - and certainly her talkies lacked the vitality of this piece. Towards the end of her life she was diagnosed - rather loosely - with schizophrenia although her condition sounds today more like depression and agoraphobia. She was a real cutie exuding humour and warmth in a natural way that no other actress could or can equal.
Clara Bow in 1927 was "still pert and trim"? She was 22 years old in 1927!
Poor Clara having to do all that stuff at the beach wearing heels and a skirt
I've seen this probably 5-10 times and love it more each time .Wings and Mantrap also
this film is a masterpiece
I've seen this movie with other musical scores but this one is by far the best
What is this one called?
Clara had “it” to the tenth power;and heartbreakingly beautiful too;makes todays super models look positively dowdy....
someone said this very same things for Marilyn Monroe also,both Clara Bow and Marilyn Monroe was gorgeous
I loved this so much! I adore Clara Bow
She is so mother 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
clara bow was very cute. and cute eyes.....dreamboat...she was like same age as my grandmother lol
What fun! No question, Clara had "IT."
Main attraction at the picture show. Like Clara bow
Fun movie! She was epic! A true talent. Eclipsing the talkies, she was a one of a kind gorgeous, talent.
Poor Monte. Friendzoned :(
THIS ...
was my first "Rendez-Vous"
with lovely Clara Bow 💕
and a very charming *IT*-Film 🎬
*THANK YOU SO MUCH* 😘
muggedinmadrid spot on post! I myself am just getting into the silent era and this film did it for me--she definitely had "it"
yes so good... and the music was done wonderfully right to fit so many of the scenes...
The musical score by Carl Davis is fabulous: A combination of themes from classical, jazz, and popular music, wonderful melodies to express emotions, and the music flowing naturally between scenes.
including a snippet of the Little House on the Prairie theme lol
Very good picture. Clara Bow truly had 'IT'. I also got quite a few laughs from Monty.
Clara was a cutie.
What a terrific movie! Whenever I watch silent films, they are not very engaging. But with the right music, the emotion and ideas really do come through.
Thank you for sharing this. I've been wanting to watch this for a few years.
I don't know how I haven't watched any silents before, this is amazing!
Clara Bow es un Icono de los años 1920´s
Oh god ! The visual , music and the people, its pure nostalgic. I can imagine myself what its like to be on those days •
Thank you for keeping the silent films alive.
Wow, what a great film. Thank you.
ZOOMLENS - Wikipedia: An early use of the zoom lens in cinema can be seen in the opening shot of the movie "It" starring Clara Bow, from 1927.
(the zoom-shot starts at 2:00)
Yes, but probably made in the optical printer and not by a zoom lens
This is in my top ten films of all time. I’ll never tire of Clara in this sparkling romantic comedy. And this version is the best, the one with Carl Davis’s finest score, which sounds like it was composed for the film in 1927.
Everytime l look in the mirror my reflection says "oh fruit you have 'lt' "
Jajaja, buena!
Five people don't have IT
...now 15...but I loved "It" :)
Now it's 32!!!!! What is WRONG with these people anyways?!?!?!!!
Now 43
But i seem to like IT.
Clara Bow was great! Thanks for posting.
I feel so low, old chap, that I could get on stilts and walk under a dachshund. Thank you . What a great movie. One of my favorites of all time
I really love this movie 😍😀
Brilliant film and fantastic score from Neil Brand-he has 'IT' too!
Truly tickled me pink. Love it. WOOP WOOP. Silent films really get me going. Gonna get flapped next during the Flapper. flap flap flap
Thanks for posting - I love it - and I love Clara Bow.
Thank you so much!
She was so beautiful ,a one off ,her career was so short and she virtually put herself into complete exile ,and isolation .She was an insomniac as well Some of her good films were made in Germany ,but she is just so beautiful and having the 20,s look the fashion and style has never been surpassed .
Great movie! Thanks for uploading!!
I've been in love with Clara Bow ever since I was a kid, and saw one of her movie posters on the wall at the soda shop. I saw that poster, and my heart just melted. She was SOOOO Beautifully Gorgeous.😘❤😊
i love this movie 😍😍
this was a great watch. i enjoy silent movies very much and their witty, humorous intertitles
Clara was beautiful and a terrific actress! She totally wraps you up in every scene. A Total delight!
Thank you! You’re so sweet to me!
"He couldn't even give birth to a suspicion!" Now, THAT'S funny!
Miss IT ..One could never forget IT...
and dare not miss it. The Lady to this day and beyond will always be IT...BRAVO ENCHORE X🥇🍾
21:20 I love how the camera zooms in to the object of her affection! Those carnival rides were so scandalous! I can't imagine
I have always heard about Clara Bow but never saw her movies until today. She reminds me a whole lot like of Sally Field!
Captivating! a smash! roar of applause. Shouts of BRAVO !
Nobody
I mean NOBODY else could have played this role and remain so timeless. I'm in love
Love the musical scoring by Carl Davis. Too bad it hasn't been transferred to a musical stage adaptation. One has been done but unfortunately not to successful.
