Starring: Clara Bow, Antonio Moreno, Jacqueline Gadsden, Priscilla Bonner, William Austin

Presenting the first true Rom-Com film – 100 years later, still one of the finest ever made.

A screening to benefit the Bedford Playhouse.

Inspired by a story by Elinor Glyn who specialized in risqué fare, Clarence Badger’s “It” is a frothy romantic comedy transformed by the incandescent Clara Bow—who indeed had “it”. Bow’s shopgirl Betty Lou sets her sights on her handsome boss (Antonio Moreno), wooing him with her sheer animal magnetism. Can he resist?…

A Q&A with film restorer and Playhouse Board member Robert Harris follows the film.

“Clara Bow is the quintessence of what the term ‘Flapper’ signifies as a definite description: pretty, impudent, superbly assured, as worldly-wise, briefly-clad and ‘hard-berled’ as possible.” —F. Scott Fitzgerald
