Summary
[edit]DescriptionNever Too Old (1926) - 1.jpg |
English: Advertisement for the American comedy film Never Too Old" (1926), on page 2 of the June 16, 1926 Film Daily. The caption states that this "cornerblock" ad for a short film is provided at no cost to theater operators, intended for advertising use in local newspapers at the ends of columns. The film uses an American cinematic trope of the silent film era where if an unaccompanied young woman spends the night in the same quarters as a single man, she then has to marry him (or face scandal). This plot device was used to create married couples that did not know each other, often using bad weather as the reason they spent the evening together. In this 1926 comedy film, this already dated trope is played with by having the young woman spend the night in an old man's automobile. In the corner of the advert, cupid has a frown, showing uneasiness concerning the proposed match. |
