@anna_Vavilkina invites you to a funny MUST SEE Silent Movie

#Mantrap (1926) is a must-see silent film for fans of early cinema, featuring a career-defining, energetic performance by „It Girl“ Clara Bow in a witty,,,, scenic romantic comedy.

Mantrap is a fictional place on the Man Trap River in Canada. The man trap is a realistic assessment of Clara Bow in Hollywood. Women fall, men fall, fallen women – could it be any more misogynistic, stuffy, and despondent?

Director Victor Fleming, an all-round GENIUS who proved he could do practically anything, from westerns to Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, turns Sinclair Lewis's stuffy moral tale on its head in his film: it is not the manicurist Alverna (Clara Bow) who is the real man trap, but rather male prejudices and cherished traditions.

Directed by Victor Fleming (Gone with the Wind), it showcases pioneering cinematography, a charming,, blend of, comedy and adventure, and a surprisingly modern,, empowered portrayal of its, lead character.
