The Man and the Moment

This is a half talkie/half silent film. Billie Dove and Rod La Rocque both have people they want to get away from.  Billie wants to get away from her legal guardian and Rod wants to get rid of his girlfriend.  However Rod discovers that he loves Billie.  Only she's reluctant.  He chases after her for the rest of the movie.  It was interesting watching Billie Dove.  Billie Holiday named herself after Billie Dove.  I've been curious to see a Billie Dove movie since.  She was pretty good in this.
