Coquette
US (1929): Drama
Norma Besant (Mary Pickford), daughter of a Southern doctor, is an incorrigible flirt and has many boys on her string. She begins to favor Michael Jeffrey (Johnny Mack Brown), who, shiftless and hot-tempered but fundamentally honorable, is warned off by her father. When Michael returns after a long absence, the pair are innocently compromised, and Dr. Besant's old-South paternal rage brings tragedy... Directed by Sam Wood. (IMDb)
Pickford's peformance is often cited as the worst to receive a Best Actress award.
