Nice People (1922) is a fascinating glimpse into the jazz age, showcasing the complexities of romance and social norms of the time. DeMille's direction brings a light-hearted yet tense atmosphere, particularly during the stormy farmhouse sequence where Teddy and Scotty’s dynamic unfolds. The pacing has a certain rhythm, almost like a jazz tune, capturing that era's essence. The performances really stand out; the actors skillfully navigate the fine line between comedy and awkward tension. The film's themes of scandal and propriety resonate well, especially through the father's disapproving lens. It’s distinctive in how it blends humor with the biting realities of social expectations, making it quite an interesting watch for collectors.
