Clara Bow was one of the great "Sex Goddesses" of the American cinema and her reputation as the "It Girl" in 1927 has continued down through the years, even with those people who have never seen any of her 58 films.

She was the embodiment of the independent-minded flapper with bobbed hair and cupid bow lips. Bow was Paramount's biggest star during 1927 and 1928. Eleanor Glyn's IT (a euphemism for sex appeal) may have been ill defined, but Clara had 'it' and many men (and women!) of the roaring twenties wanted it and admired Bow for it.

This evening at Marlows we'll be screening a classic Clara Bow movie following a brief introduction from fan and Bristol Silents supporter Mark Fuller.
