Fig Leaves (1926)
9/10
forgotten screen gem

Warning: Spoilers
Fig Leaves is a forgotten screen gem that should be out on DVD. It is an early Howark Hawks screwball comedy with George O'Brien doing a Cary Grant before there was Cary Grant role. The satire of the 10 Commandments is great.

The actors are very funny. Seeing this makes you realize how good George O'Brien was. He was discovered in the Iron Horse and mostly did westerns but here he is a great comic actor and in Sunrise he did a great dramatic part too. He had a surprising range. It is a pity more people cannot see this film.
