In the era of silent movies, a actor's face had to be extremely expressive and flexible to communicate the film's story to the audience. And in this respect no one ever surpassed Clara Bow. Her abilities allowed her to get away positively, even when she acted a not-so-positive character.
I estimate that only Clara's appearance saves 'Mantrap' from being covered under a thick layer of dust. The film itself is enjoyable, but does not exceed the hundreds of others produced at the time to keep the many movie-houses going.
In the 1920's, film developed fast. With no television around, every area of a city had its own movie-house, where films like 'Mantrap' attracted local crowds on their free Saturday night. Also in this respect 'Mantrap' reminds us of those days long ago.
