The Doll

1919 · 66 min

A frothy silent confection of slapstick chases, playful trickery and doll-like charm that breezes by with a wink.

How it feels: Whimsical, light, absurd and romantic. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Love, deception, family, freedom
Content: Mild violence and sexual content. No gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
