She was so cute, so sweet, and so adorable in this scene. I've never seen this movie, but this seems like a decent scene for a 1929 early sound film. Thanks for sharing this.
This was filmed in 1929! And Clara Bow is totally real and honest. All other performances from this time are stiff and "actory." Clara understood how to act before the silent and sound camera. It's maddening that her so-called peers looked down on her. Guess they couldn't recognize genius.
its becase she was from a poor family, from Brooklyn (with a stiff Brooklyn accent she couldn't get rid of) and had no formal training. Pretty crazy considering the backgrounds of some of the other actors at the time.
This is proof that Clara had no trouble with the talkies. If she had "microphone fright" (as they say), then based on what I see here, she must have been one of the bravest girls in the world!... Beauty, charisma, and talent, all rolled into one. (How many times does THAT happen?)... Anyway... Thanks for the upload!
She has the Brooklyn accent here which seems appropriate for what this role seems to be from this brief clip (she's a working girl here not a debutante). But in her last two films, she didn't. Her voice is fine. I think the story that she didn't have a voice for the talkies is nonsense.
You're right, her voice is just fine. She didn't like the microphone, though, and the studio didn't like her, and flappers were going out of style, and then she had a nervous breakdown and didn't want to do it any more.
@@RadicalCaveman Those damn film snobs (Pickford, Fairbanks, etc.) considered her common. Joan Crawfish was a friend ... that is, until she married Doug, Jr., & got all "classy" ...
Clara was just like the girl in the movie. She was a natural actress. She played herself. No one could match her. She was cute as a button and a personality to match. Alas she was no match for the sharks in Hollywood. She worked her head off for years making lots of $$$ for her studio and then was dropped and never heard from again.
I wonder why she didn't go on to do more talkies she's just adorable she has a good voice she's very funny I don't know I know she has some problems but I think they missed out very cute very funny
Clara orders two fried eggs turned over on toast, but it looks like all they got is pancakes, coffee and donuts ... Maybe the eggs were still on the way.
How cute was that. And when i think about people saying she didn't sound good! Her voice was beautiful ❤️ ♥️ ❤️ rip Miss Bow
❤️ 💕 ❤️
The unfit voice myth is baloney. Clara would have been one of the great stars of the 30's and 40's if she had persisted.
They asked Clara if she wanted the role of Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With The Wind". She said no.

What an incredibly uninhibited method of character portrayal. Light years before her time, so refreshing to see.

Some couldn't recognize, and some were jealous. 🖤👽 She was a natural not contrived. 🖤👽

She has to be the cutest woman that ever lived. :)
Clara Bow truly was a talented, adorable, beautiful lady!
she was better then the other actors, even Gary Cooper said no one could compete with Clara Bow
Love everything about Ms. Bow. Her talent, that beautiful red hair. Her smile was second to none. But for me, she's got the most mesmerizing eye's.
Timeless beauty.

it was prejudice due to her Brooklyn accent. It worked here, obviously.

Too bad, because as far as talent and looks go, she could have been a star much longer.
Yes, it's a real shame. Retired at 28. She was so alive onscreen, with or without sound.
Her last two movies were both hits, another reason she could have kept on going. But she had enough of Hollywood.

Is it possible to upload the whole movie of Dangerous Curves..Love this film..Clara was truly the best..Thanks and Best Wishes..
A girl who isn't afraid to eat in front of a guy...awesome.
Can you imagine a movie with Clara, Jean Harlow and Joan Blondell in it together? It would be so fun.
Ahhh id totally watch it, i love them all
Captivating !
She was fine! It had to be back stage politics that undid her. Poor Clara, may she rest in peace.
No. It was mental health issues and personal scandals.
Would ya honest

They are not. Clara Bow passed away in 1965, and Richard Arlen in 1976.
Watch "The It Girl". Excellent silent film. It's on the Tube now (10/2020)
Clara Bow is beautiful
She is adorable.
Probably the most adorable woman in movie history.
This is a rare I thought!
Where's the rest of the movie?
Betty Boop.
Something about her eyes, I just get lost in them.
The author of "It" said it had something to do with the eyes.
"coawfee"
Are the people in this video alive now?
Her voice sounded like a kid
cawfee
She was the it girl because she had all of it 😍
she was pretty good, detected little bit of a dialect
Betty boop
I was gettin hot for the guy. I found out it was Richard Arlen.
She inspires love.
Clara would have been so damn good in film noir.
Probably the most adorable woman in movie history.
Agreed. Aubrey is up there too👍
