The Perfect Flapper

The Perfect Flapper was a 1924 comedy film starring Colleen Moore. This was Moores second flapper film after Flaming Youth. It was released after Through the Dark made before Flaming Youth but in theaters after its release and Painted People. The film is preserved at the Library of Congress along with a trailer.

The film was made in the wake of the tremendous hit Flaming Youth. Originally intended to reunite the cast and crew of Flaming Youth, not everyone was available. The film was made as a comedy with dramatic undertones, while Flaming Youth had been a drama with comic aspects. To cash in on the popularity of Colleens flapper character, the word flapper made it into the title. An additional draw was that the film showed a lot of skin. Sydney Chaplin was, of course, Charlies older halfbrother. The film was generally wellreceived as good light entertainment ...you have been entertained and not caused to think too much. The film did not match the popularity of Flaming Youth an accounting of the earnings of Colleens pictures dated December 31, 1928 lists total earnings of Flaming Youth at 798,777 by 1928 The Perfect Flapper earned 531,008.56.
