Clara Bow is at her irresistible best in Hula (1927), a lively, sexy romantic comedy directed by Victor Fleming (Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz) and made at the height of Bow’s reign as Hollywood’s legendary “It Girl.” Set in Hawaii, the film casts Bow as the free-spirited daughter of a plantation owner who sets her sights on a handsome English engineer, despite the inconvenient fact that he is already married. Filled with the uninhibited energy that made Bow a sensation, Hula includes her famous nude swimming scene and a scandalously playful hula dance, and was released in the same remarkable year as two of her greatest successes, It and Wings.

Buster Keaton’s One Week (1920), one of his early masterpieces that helped establish a new standard for visual comedy, follows newlyweds Buster and Sybil as they attempt to assemble a prefabricated house. What begins as a simple building project escalates into a brilliantly inventive series of architectural catastrophes, sight gags and breathtaking physical comedy, showcasing Keaton’s extraordinary ability to turn an ordinary object, in this case an entire house, into a comic universe.
