It (1927) 

It's amazing how contemporary Clara is. She would fit so well in today's movies as well. Just love her.

first clara bow movie i see and... she really has IT! also, am i the only one who feels sorry for her friend with the baby and all?

90 years later and I'm sitting here like "omg I want to be her best friend!" She's timeless.

Who else loves these movies just so you can see the great old furniture, sets, clothes, and jewelry? Small apartments then were HUGE by today's standards.

I think all silent movies should be public domain and considered heritage of humanity.

I absolutely adore Clara and her acting! As one article on her said - she makes all the other actors look like wooden dolls compared to her and her absolute skill and raw talent for acting! Her face is incredibly expressive and overall, I think all of us can agree she's got 'IT'!

Wow, I can see why Clara Bow became such a hit. Her acting is more lively and natural than a lot of more famous people decades after her, and all this without even saying a word (that the audience hears)! it's also really cool to see the real people of the 1920s actually in motion. Yeah I know this is a movie, not quite reality. But most of them look so much more like average people than the Hollywood actors of today.

34:44 A Marilyn moment before Marilyn.

She's completely irresistible. I couldn't take my eyes off her wondrously expressive face.

This is time travel at it's best.

I have been reading up on Miss Bow. Seems the had a heart issue that went undiagnosed since she was very young. After her death they found scaring on her heart from a previous heart attack, that no one knew about. And was suffering from a mental illness. To me this shows how tough minded and determined she was. That IT factor everyone talks about, Miss Bow had IT in spades and it clearly shows in this film.

This is an old movie, but Clara is as fresh as a bowl of strawberries. If only she was born in a time when movies were more advanced, she'd be as famous as Marilyn. But now she will go down in history as a pioneer.

I can only imagine how much of a delight this was to see in the theatre. What a sensational film and a mesmerizingly timeless leading lady.

If the tiny baby Toodles 13:55 was born in 1927, it'd be 90 years old today! How time flies!

Ninety years later she's still the "It" girl

i was tickled pink by this film. i can see now what the fuss was about clara bow. she is very charismatic, plucky and endearing. the film is actually excellent; really good story telling and characters that you care about. a classic film that deserves its classic status and an archetypal early hollywood icon that deserves her mantle.

The makeup they put on the men so they’d film better is downright creepy at times. Still, it’s great to see how expressive they are without sound. And Clara Bow had such eyes!

I love how this movie shows a lot of things that were uncommon back then as being normal, like a single mother or working girl ;)

Poor Clara having to do all that stuff at the beach wearing heels and a skirt

One of the best silents, Bow's charm transcends time.

I don't know how I haven't watched any silents before, this is amazing!

She's very subtle in her gestures and movements, much like Charlie Chaplin was, perhaps it was the style of the time

I love how she still has both high heel shoes on after the struggle and swimming in the water lol

On of the best cute romantic silent movies I've ever sent Clara Bow did it!

Antonio Moreno was top heavy with "IT" TOO! lol. What a yummy, adorable pair they were! This delightful, fun romp will live forever!!!

1927 was Clara Bow's year. This and "Wings". And, yes, she had 'it', by the truckload.

She just glows.

Very nice....that's the 1st time I have ever been so completely engrossed in a silent movie that I forgot there was no talking.

These silent films make me so happy :) I love vintage movies! Clara bow is so beautiful 🌸💕💕💕💕💕

Clara Bow is timeless. She just lights up the screen. Absolutely beautiful too.

Clara Bow is timeless and an authentic piece of art. How marvelous and charming she IS.

Clara Bow just makes me feel good. A few minutes watching her just helps me get through the day. And I cant compliment the music either. Brilliant. Spot-on. Please do more of these. The music can make or break the film, and watching them with no sound is hard.

I highly recommend Clara Bow: Runnin' Wild to anyone interested in her. It's such a great bio. Her story was so very tragic and heartbreaking and she was such a darling, sweet person.

People then were so well dressed!❤👑👌 Today they wear Tattoos and piercings!🤦‍♀️😫

Such a natural for the silent film ..Clara gives her usual excellent performance...proving a look can portray 1000 words !

The *right* music score helps aid the viewer's enjoyment of silent classics immensely.

I know !! One of my favorite movies now ..so awesome..love Clara🌺🦋I think Ytube has done so much to " bring back these great movies ...Hula" is another favorite !!!! She plays a girl named "HULA IN HAWAII. w another hunk actor Cleve Brook -- hubba hubba💚💚😘😘oh I wish my Grandmom & her sisters my great Aunt's could be here still to watch these w me ....I d always heard of Clara Bowv...when they were still here but darn never thought to ask ..I loved old movies bk to the 30's these are 20's...darn I just didn't think..& I WE LIVED W GRANDMOM .Mom & I would stay up late late show ...but not much 20's silent movies ..I just thought they were silly like keystone Cops .I can't believe I didn't watch them & really get n2 them more ..I think I just remembered why ...it's BECAUSE THE NETWORKS DIDN'T SHOW THE SILENT MOVIES .they just went back as far as 50's ,40's some 30's that's Why .. Then VHS. & DVDs ...but too late they were still alive but old er ..nobody mentioned how great the silent s were....!! I do remember Granmom raving about Jean Harlow" she loved her.......🦋but I Do know if GM was here now & Mom too they would Love watching these AGAIN.......I would of LOVED to of gone to Clara & her Husband's cafe too & meet her!!!!🦋😔

I thought there was another IT like the clown movie

21:20 I love how the camera zooms in to the object of her affection! Those carnival rides were so scandalous! I can't imagine I have always heard about Clara Bow but never saw her movies until today. She reminds me a whole lot like of Sally Field!

Love this so much. Clara is so adorable and such a class act.

Clara was a cutie.

96 years and still cool to look at

clara bow was very cute. and cute eyes.....dreamboat...she was like same age as my grandmother lol

Ah Clara Bowe...she is my all time favourite silent movie actress, she is my icon, my role model, she dragged herself literally out of the gutter (upbringing) and despite all the crap she went through she was so successful in what she did despite being mentally ill and going through so much pain. She will always be my heroine, she is just amazing in every way and I wish to be just like her one day, pulling myself out of my gutter (mentally and physically) and succeeding as much as she did XD

Most beautiful person that ever graced a movie screen and brought joy to people's faces. My favourite actress of all time. Clara Bow.

So ahead of her time. She was very natural and convincing while others were theatrical and stoic.

At the 48 minute mark, she cried real tears. For 1927, that was some amazing acting...

Great movie and Clara Bow deserves to be remembered. What's strange though is how there was a time when ITV would commission a remaster and a new score for a silent film. This wouldn't happen now.

How was this almost a century ago? I wish celebrities today would watch these movies and learn a lesson. Clara really had “IT”

i hope by miracle, keyword miracle, that some of Clara Bow's lost films, survive out there in a film archive, even if it is overseas, awaiting to be rediscovered.

18 million blondes? Who counted?

clara is so pretty! her resting face is gorgeous… she’s my it girl ❤

Just like Monroe years later the camera loved Clara. She was still pert and trim in 1927 and in her element here - silent films. She considered microphones distracting and limiting - and certainly her talkies lacked the vitality of this piece. Towards the end of her life she was diagnosed - rather loosely - with schizophrenia although her condition sounds today more like depression and agoraphobia. She was a real cutie exuding humour and warmth in a natural way that no other actress could or can equal.

Wonderful, wonderful, a superstar in every way! Her beautiful eyes, she lit up the screen, i couldnt take my eyes off her. How could Clara Bow ever have been forgotten, it makes no sense.

Poor Monte. Friendzoned :(

Five people don't have IT

A Hollywood gossip columnist of the time wrote of Clara Bow, "She doesn't need IT; she has THOSE." By 1929, Bow was poised to make a successful transition to talking pictures, but she became mired in scandal. Her popularity evaporated, and with it, her career. She was 25.

This is my first time watching a silent movie and I'm still confused by who's speaking the lines because sometimes you see them both talking but see only one text. Or sometimes you see people talking but there's no text. Will I get used to that or do I actually have to get it

That precious baby! I'm so glad I didn't live during that age, when the little baby was a thing of shame, because it was born to an unmarried woman.The film focuses sympathetically on the baby's real mother's poverty, though of course, the plot line is ridiculous.

I've seen this probably 5-10 times and love it more each time .Wings and Mantrap also

Clara Bow is the best actress of the silent era by far :D

Clara had “it” to the tenth power;and heartbreakingly beautiful too;makes todays super models look positively dowdy....

Everytime l look in the mirror my reflection says "oh fruit you have 'lt' "

I loved this so much! I adore Clara Bow

i love this movie 😍😍

Thank you for sharing this. I've been wanting to watch this for a few years.

I'm a 65 year old movie buff who loves movies old and new but somehow, sometimes intentionally, avoided "IT". I've heard of it and was aware of it's legendary status but just wasn't interested and frankly thought the clothes and hairstyles of the biggest stars (lets not mention all the make-up) was just not very attractive and couldn't hold a candle to "modern" (Kim Novak on) actresses. Clara Bow in "IT" changed that opinion BIG TIME All I can say is "WOW!!!!"

Main attraction at the picture show. Like Clara bow

What a great movie, & Clara Bow was clearly a fantastic actress. It's almost a CENTURY later, & Clara Bow is still, "IT".

I like watching these old silent movies.

ZOOMLENS - Wikipedia: An early use of the zoom lens in cinema can be seen in the opening shot of the movie "It" starring Clara Bow, from 1927. (the zoom-shot starts at 2:00)

A Clara Bow classic.🎥 One of her most famous and successful movie⭐⭐. Such a twenties legend. 🧚‍♀️🌟

Did they have music to the films back in the 1920s? I thought that some had live orchestras playing to the movie, but I imagine that would have only been in large cities. In smaller cities and towns did they literally watch the movies in silence with no background music?

I've seen this movie with other musical scores but this one is by far the best

I've known her for a minute, and I want to kiss her, too.

Noote that Gary Cooper plays a minor part as reporter at 37:10.

I really love this movie 😍😀

It definitly proves that what actually makes a good successful movie is just two factors; 1 - Great story and 2 - Great acting performance. That's IT!

THIS ... was my first "Rendez-Vous" with lovely Clara Bow 💕 and a very charming *IT*-Film 🎬 *THANK YOU SO MUCH* 😘

🎥Hello,📽️ this is one of most famous and best🎞️ movie starring Clara Bow❤️. It's about magnetic...mhmm..People.! Really enjoying.. 🌹Curiosity:legend says Clara Bow and Helen Kane they inspired Betty Boop's creator 💋❤️.. Did You know ?!...

What fun! No question, Clara had "IT."

By modern standards, perhaps Clara Bow's character should have waited until she's a little more mature before she starts messing around with boyfriends who look old enough to be her dad, though she was indeed an adorable girl at the time. Oh, and Monty has the BRIGHTEST and BLUEST eyes I have ever seen, too!

Is he reading "Cosmopolitan"?

She is so mother 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

muggedinmadrid spot on post! I myself am just getting into the silent era and this film did it for me--she definitely had "it"

Hey ! is that young reporter Gary Cooper ??? thanks for posting this silent movie I really enjoyed it !!!

yes so good... and the music was done wonderfully right to fit so many of the scenes...

Clara Bow es un Icono de los años 1920´s

i’m wondering... i notice that in a lot of these films men and women decide to get married within weeks or even days of knowing each other. was that was it was really like back then? the decision was made so easily and quickly? i’m only 17, but i’m a really big fan of clara!

Great movie! Thanks for uploading!!

Truly tickled me pink. Love it. WOOP WOOP. Silent films really get me going. Gonna get flapped next during the Flapper. flap flap flap

Monty, my dude, im so sorry 😢😅 Clara looks gorgeous in here. She really has "IT"♡

Wow, what a great film. Thank you.

Fun movie! She was epic! A true talent. Eclipsing the talkies, she was a one of a kind gorgeous, talent.

Watched this whole movie and no scary clown 🤡! WTF!!!

Thanks for posting - I love it - and I love Clara Bow.
