Champagne - 1928 ***



Ha! Don't you love these quirky little posters you get for really old movies?

'Champagne' was a good film, and although Hitchcock constantly said how much of a problem he had with comedies, he actually did this one really well.

Betty Balfour has one of the most expressive faces of the silent screen that I have seen, and I thought she did a very amusing job here as the daughter of a wealthy city tycoon who decides to squander much of his fortune on a cruise ship with her boyfriend, but her father isn't going to stand for that, believing that her boyfriend is only after the money...

Worth a watch, and fantastic in my opinion to see the typically 20s clothes on the 2 main stars (Betty Balfour makes a fantastic flapper!).
