Flapper Joan Crawford is my favourite version of Joan - as F Scott Fitzgerald said, “…Joan Crawford is doubtless the best example of the flapper, the girl you see in smart night clubs, gowned to the apex of sophistication, toying iced glasses with a remote, faintly bitter expression, dancing deliciously, laughing a great deal, with wide, hurt eyes. Young things with a talent for living.”

Fun Historical Fact: There used to be more gay and lesbian content in early silent films until religious groups protested resulting in “decency standards.”

THE WAY THE ONE GIRL LOOKS DOWN ALL SHY AND THE OTHER CUPS HER FACE SO SWEETLY TO COMFORT HER- AHHHH

There was more homosexual content in European and even American films in the pre-Code era (although it wasn’t dealt with particularly openly and was often depicted with negative connotations), but in this instance the film is 1921’s ”Orphans of the Storm” - the two actresses are sisters (Lillian and Dorothy Gish) and they’re playing two sisters (Louise and Henriette), one of whom is supposed to be blind, thus the intimacy of their interaction. D W Griffith, the film’s director, was not particularly enlightened when it came to issues of female sexuality, let alone homosexuality.

“I’ve sort of gotten into the habit of looking for the vulnerable guy, the guy who makes mistakes, the guy who can’t figure things out all the time but keeps at it.”
