How to marry a millionaire? Clara Bow plays a witty saleswoman in a department store, a little sly and prickly, romantic, always honest. Endowed with considerable sex appeal, Clara Bow here proves to be the purest embodiment of the flapper and the it girl: a fuzzy-headed bundle of energy who looked like a doll with big googly eyes, yet played working women who knew exactly when they were allowed to dream and when not. Bow became the symbol of a new generation of women whose modern sexuality, dress and habitus and whose joy in jazz and desire to dance were as contagious as they were revolutionary.
