The patsy
"Directed by King Vidor Overshadowed and stifled by both her mother and her older sister, young Patsy (Marion Davies) decides to announce her independence by making a play for one of her sister's boyfriends. Energetic, irrepressible, bubbling over with good humor yet capable of quiet sensitivity, Marion Davies proves here (as with SHOW PEOPLE) that she was a genuine star. In her most celebrated scene, she demonstrates her talent for mimicry by offering devastatingly accurate impressions of Mae Murray, Lillian Gish and Pola Negri. Along with Marion's performance, THE PATSY offers the services of a distinguished supporting cast, most notably Marie Dressler as Marion's domineering mother. Dressler was fighting her way back from a long period of undeserved obscurity, and her role in THE PATSY was an important step in her comeback"--UCLA Film and Television Archive
