DVD Reviews of 'It' Plus Clara Bow: Discovering the "It" Girl
DVD Review: Worthy Addition to your DVD Library
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite silent movies and in my opinion the best romantic comedy ever made. It's easy to see how it propelled Clara Bow to stardom. DVD Review: "It" has "It" !
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have never watched a silent film, watch this one!

It is on my favorite movies list.
It is flirty and fun from an era past.
It is a delightfully innocent film that will leave you with a silly grin.
DVD Review: Kino dvd of 'IT'
Summary: 4 Stars
I read Amazons reviews to see how others rate the movies for quality. I didnt see anything wrong with the Kino transfer & i think the score was catchy. I dont have the money to go out & buy another one from Image just because the picture is a bit sharper & i enjoyed the documentary on the Kino dvd. From a average buyer thats my 2 cents.DVD Review: Clara Bow as the Sexual Aggressor Gets Her Man!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a cute, fast paced film about a working girl who doesn't hesitate to go after her rich man. He never seems to quite notice her until the end of course. It is well worth enjoying. The documentary that accompanies the film is very good too. Narrated by Courtney Love it really enlightens us to the woman who was "IT!" Clara Bow was a great movie star and a lot of fun! DVD Review: best clara bow movie ever
Summary: 5 Stars
yes, i know it's clara bow's most well known film, but i do honestly think it's her best. many of her other movie characters were written in such a way that sometimes i think "why the heck is she doing that?!" but not with betty lou spence. and clara bow just takes betty lou and makes her so real and likeable.
i know that elinor glyn's definition of "it" included the statement, "IT is self-confidence and indifference as to whether you are pleasing or not..." and that in the movie, betty lou does care whether or not she is pleasing to mr. waltham. however, she still definitely has "it" - she's attractive, she's vivacious, she's well-liked by both men and women, and she has a great personality. clara bow just makes betty lou someone you wish you could be.
the clara bow documentary is very interesting, but doesn't go deep enough into her life story. and why the heck did they pick courtney love to narrate it? i would have preferred someone connected with classic movies or at least an anonymous voice over person.
but all in all, this is a great dvd to own.
Description of 'It' Plus Clara Bow: Discovering the "It" Girl
The quintessential flapper clara bow is captured at the height of her charm in this bubbly fable of a new york shopgirl who hunts the heart of a young millionaire. Studio: Kino International Release Date: 02/20/2001 Starring: Clara Bow Run time: 72 minutes Director: Clarence BadgerIt is famous for turning cutie-pie Clara Bow into, as critic David Thomson described her, "the first mass-market sex symbol." Somewhat overshadowed by this phenomenon is the fact that It is also a terrifically entertaining picture, an effortless cruise through the manners and morals of the flapper era. Bow plays a shopgirl who sets her saucer eyes on her boss (Antonio Moreno); it isn't terribly hard to land him, since she possesses dazzle, charm, spunk... in a word, "It." And if we're still not sure what "It" is, there's a moment of high camp hilarity when matronly author Elinor Glyn, who penned the original definition of "It," strides through the movie and delivers herself of its meaning. Actually, Bow's delightful performance does more to define "It" than anything else, and her unabashed sexiness (which didn't play well after sound came in) clearly sets the future course for Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. --Robert Horton
