About This Movie

Pointed Heels is a charming 1929 comedy-musical that captures the spirit of the era with its jazzy vibe and lighthearted narrative. Fay Wray, well-known for her later role in King Kong, shines as the enchanting showgirl, navigating the complexities of love amidst New York's glitzy backdrop. Phillips Holmes plays the affluent suitor, while William Powell brings a subtle grace to his role as the devoted producer, who, despite his feelings, remains the epitome of gentlemanly restraint. The pacing has that classic silent film rhythm, allowing the musical numbers to breathe and resonate. There's a delightful interplay of ambition and romance, all wrapped in a visually appealing package that showcases some nifty practical effects for the time, making it a distinctive piece in the pre-sound film landscape.
