About This Movie

Woman's Place (1921) is an interesting slice of early cinema, tackling political themes with a unique lens. The plot revolves around the Women's Political League and their decision to nominate Kay Gerson for mayor, driven by the notion that her looks will sway the male voters. It’s a bit of a commentary on gender roles and appearances in politics, which feels quite ahead of its time. The pacing is a tad uneven, but there’s a certain charm in how it captures the era's societal dynamics. You can sense the struggle between Kay and the rival candidate, Freddy Bleeker, who's backed by the town's political boss. The performances, though not stellar by today’s standards, add a layer of earnestness to the mix, making it a distinctive piece worth a look.
