The Flapper (1920)

'The Flapper' is a "1920 silent comedy film" starring Olive Thomas. Directed by Alan Crosland, the film was the first in the United States to portray the "flapper lifestyle", which became a cultural phenomenon in the 1920s. The story follows "Genevieve 'Ginger' King", a restless teenager from a wealthy family who is sent to a strict boarding school. Longing for excitement, she gets caught up in a series of misadventures involving romance, stolen jewels, and mistaken identity. With "witty humor, lively performances, and a glimpse into the rebellious spirit of the Jazz Age", this film remains a fascinating piece of early cinema.
