Ost und West (1923)
Comedy about the culture clash between two Jewish families.
Mollie (Molly Picon) is an effervescent young woman who lifts weights, boxes, and generally tries to run things her way. When she and her Papa are invited to attend a cousin's wedding in Poland, they embark on a journey that no member of their extended family will ever forget.
Once she gets to Poland, Mollie continues pulling stunts, including one that backfires dramatically. On the eve of her cousin's wedding, she gets several of their friends together to stage a "mock" wedding, with Mollie herself as the bride. To play the groom, the companions choose a shy, withdrawn Talmudic scholar who has to be coaxed into playing the part. But when the hi-jinx are over, it turns out that the presiding rabbi is a real rabbi, and the couple are really married!
Her Big Night (1926)
An almost perfect comedy.
An unalloyed comedy delight. Laura La Plante kicks up her heels as Frances, a shopgirl who closely resembles big movie star Daphne Dix, and as the impetuous movie star herself. One night when the star is frolicking aboard a millionaire's yacht when she should be attending the big premiere of her latest film, her studio's press agent spots Frances and offers her $1,000 to pose as Miss Dix at the premiere and throw a few kisses to her loyal fans. The deception works, but it also leads to several humorous complications that keep this frothy comedy bubbling until the final fade-out.
