    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This was actually Marie Dressler's turnaround film. After having quite a slump in her career, Dressler was apparently having her last meal at a restaurant before killing herself when Allan Dwan, who was sitting at a nearby table, ended up offering her the role for King Vidor that night. The movie was a success, and Dressler's career skyrocketed again.
    • Goofs
      When Tony and the family get into their cars to go to the yacht-club dinner, the night sky is completely dark. But when Billy arrives at the pier in his boat after they've already started eating, the sky is much lighter.
    • Quotes

      Grace Harrington: Stupid! How do you feel now?

      Patricia Harrington: [Pretending to be off her rocker in order to gain Ma's symphathy] You know how you feel when you don't know how you feel? That's how I feel.

    • Alternate versions
      In 2004, a TCM aired a restored print with a new score by Vivek Maddala which runs 77 minutes.

    Wonderful!
    This is an absolutely wonderful film. Everybody is fantastically entertaining and endearing in it, and Marion Davies proves that she is far more than a pretty face. Hearst did not want her to become involved in comedies, believing drama to be far more dignified, and we're fortunate that she went against his wishes.

    In this movie, her incredible comedic talent shines through--her acting ability, mimicry, and overall charm and energy make The Patsy lots of fun for everybody, including (it seems) the cast itself! Definitely one of the best silent films I've seen, full of laughs that rely on something other than pure slapstick.
