This film's historical significance is more interesting than the film itself which I found to be quite dull and lifeless.

Out of the Past
Sam Taylor not only undertook to direct this picture, but he also wrote some of the dialogue. Neither his direction nor his lines reveal imagination. Miss Pickford saves the picture by her earnest efforts in the roe of Norma Beasant.

Vet silent actress Mary Pickford won her first and Only Best Actress Oscar for this melodrama, done better on stage with Helen Hayes.

Rating: 2/5 --
The film is very stagy, the characters don't move around a lot, there is little editing within the scene, and the actors overact.

Rating: D --
I guess 1929 audiences knew a stinker when they saw one coming. There is very little to criticize in Coquette, because there is so little in it, period.

Nick's Flick Picks
Her cast is bad and her director no genius. But somehow... [Pickford] turns her difficulties to assets, brings vividly to life the southern smalltown coquette who liked one fellow too well to suit her father.

TIME Magazine
It neither grasps nor holds the imagination as did the play for three pretty fair reasons -- cast, change In story and a repeated tendency to become too talkie and motionless.

Description by OLDIES.com:
When flirtatious socialite Norma Besant tells her widowed father she has fallen in love with poor ne'er-do-well Michael Jeffery (Johnny Mack Brown), he forbids the two from seeing each other, knowing that Michael will never rise to their family's social class. But the couple's love is stronger than Norma's obligation to obey her father, and the lovers secretly continue their romance. When they're seen together late one night, her father, gun in hand, sets out to settle things once and for all.
