Mary Pickford stars as the "Miss Fix-it" for her eccentric family. Pickford's job at a dime-store keeps her postman dad (Lucien Littlefield), addlepated mom (Sunshine Hart) and loose-living sister (Ca... read more read more...rmelita Geraghty) from going under. She falls in love with handsome Charles "Buddy" Rogers, never dreaming that the boy is the son of store-owner Hobart Bosworth. The "meeting cute" scene between Pickford and Rogers has been so often excerpted in silent-movie compilations that it's possible many viewers have it memorized. Based on a story by Kathleen Norris, My Best Girl served to introduce Mary Pickford to future-husband Rogers (they were wed nearly a decade later). Lucien Littlefield, the "old codger" who plays Pickford's father, was in reality three years younger than Pickford! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    This movie was made in 1927 but made the 1997 Toronto International Film Festival, not sure the history behind this one or why it made a film festival in 1997, but do know it had the very beautiful Mary Pickford in it, and its a silent film, all in all its an enjoyable film and a... read more step back in time.

    This was the first silent movie that I ever had the pleasure of seeing, about five years ago or so. Mary Pickford is just as quirky as always, and it's such a charming story. Really great.
