Rated 27 Jul 2009

A genuinely funny silent comedy that mixes slapstick with good writing, a clear precursor to the great comedies of the 30's. Marion Davies is great exhibiting a huge range, and she's pretty too.

Marion Davies is never anything short of a delight to watch and the film is very good fun throughout. It's just a very fun, entertaining, sweet, funny little film with a portrayal of Hollywood that, apparently, is very accurate to how it was actually ran.

Man, those people really liked that movie. Also this has the highest number of hilarious (intentional or not) intertitles I've ever seen in a silent movie. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how funny they are.

Marion Davies' Gloria Swanson impersonation is killer.

Pretty light stuff. Funny but lacks any voice really. Cool cameos I guess.

Lovely. Marion Davies was quite a comedienne. So few women are as pretty as her yet genuinely funny

Her body language is amaaaaazing 🤣 Wasn’t trying to be all artsy & pretentious watching a silent film; couldn’t sleep and had TCM rolling while I packed for a trip. Laughed so hard I woke other people up then they couldn’t stop watching. We laughed till we wept.

This film doesn't earn a lot of it's contrived narrative, and many of the "in-jokes" that probably seemed so relevant in the 20s are lost, but there is a certain sentimental charm to Show People that trumps it's more problematic issues.
