About This Movie
The Great Night, directed by Howard M. Mitchell in 1922, offers a unique blend of comedy and drama wrapped in a charming narrative. It follows Larry Gilmore, who finds himself in a bit of a pickle—he has to marry quickly to access his inheritance. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the humor to unfold naturally, and the scenes have this quirky energy as Larry dons a police uniform to evade a horde of eager brides. The performances are spirited; you can really feel the tension between his comedic antics and the romantic developments with Mollie Martin. The atmosphere is light, yet it touches on deeper themes of identity and love. There’s a certain authenticity in the practical effects, and the film feels like it captures a specific moment in silent cinema.
