Silent Sunday - Showing of Sally of the Sawdust (1925)

Sally of the Sawdust (1925)

Sally of the Sawdust is one of D.W. Griffith's more enjoyable films. While this has as much or more to do with its starring W.C. Fields in his first leading role, the film is also a showcase for Griffith's direction, making charming use of a good deal of beautifully pastoral location shooting that helps to give Sally an almost-luminous glow. The film is an adaptation of Fields' stage success, Poppy. - Mountain Xpress

Judge Foster (Erville Alderson) throws his daughter out because she married a circus man. She leaves her baby girl with Prof. McGargle (W.C. Fields) before she dies. Years later Sally (Carol Dempster) is a dancer with whom Peyton (Alfred Lunt), a son of Judge Foster's friend, falls in love. When Sally is arrested McGargle must prove her real parentage.
