A little plot


The Little Darling (1909)

Directed D. W. Griffith this film stars Mary Pickford and Mack Sennett. A group of men try to impress their land lady when they hear the daughter of one of her old friends is coming to visit.

Working on a very simple joke about the misunderstanding of the prospective guest's age this is not a complex film. Running at only two minutes in length there is not really space for much depth but as a simple concept this film works well enough. Not a lot stands out about the execution of the film but it is an early collaboration between Pickford and Griffith which might make it notable.

3/5
