Editorial Review:
Description
Constance Talmadge was one of the most popular stars of the 1920s, but her reputation today has slipped, simply because her films are now hard to find. "The Primitive Lover" shows why she was so popular! It's a lively romantic comedy (scripted by Frances Marion), in which the fevered prose and unlikely plots of Connie's favorite romance novels are brought to life. While roughing it in the California mountains, she gets to choose between her dull husband and a rugged man of adventure, setting the stage for an amusingly romantic adventure of her own.
This film was made right around the peak of her stardom, and it really shows off the personality, beauty and talent that nade her an audience favorite in the silent days. She was clearly a natural comedienne, and it's a shame that so few of her films are in circulation today. Look for an appearance by Big Joe Roberts, who's best known for his work in the films of Connie's brother-in-law Buster Keaton. Organ score by Bob Vaughn.
