Finders Keepers

About This Movie

Finders Keepers (1921) is a curious mix of comedy and drama, highlighting the struggles of Amy Lindel as she navigates the treacherous waters of a singing career in the big city. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it works to create a sense of both urgency and whimsy. There’s a real charm in the performances, especially from the lead, whose earnestness shines through the somewhat simplistic plot involving stolen diamonds. The cabaret scenes have this lively atmosphere that makes you feel the bustling nightlife of the era. Plus, the practical effects, while limited, add a certain authenticity to the film's heist elements. It’s a period piece that captures both ambition and romance, but in a way that’s distinctly early silent cinema.
