It (1927)


Paramount Pictures
Directed by Clarence Badger
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Shop clerk Clara Bow, who has "it", falls for her boss, who doesn't realize he also has "it". Their potential romance is derailed by a misunderstanding over her role as a friend of a poor tenement woman and her baby, who the boss thinks belong to her. Clara is also romanced by a dimwitted but wealthy friend of her boss, and uses him to get to her real target. Entertaining if somewhat predictable romantic comedy, with a bit of social commentary in the subplot.
