Mary Pickford Secrets her final movie and talkie clip 1!

The greatest silent star of all time Mary Pickford in her final film "Secrets" from 1933. She only made 4 talkies, and this was one of them!

Mary was known for playing little girl roles, her final such one coming well in her 30s. She was 41 when she made this film and was playing a 16-19 year old. In addition to growing personal problems this was the main reason she quit films, not because her voice was unsuitable as rumored (her first talkie Coquette won an Oscar).

@bucky468 Bucky I think you are confused about the genre.

Silent films were silent, yes, but music was almost always played from the very start. Now that we obviously have the technology people have added musical soundtracks to prints and such, but its still a silent film. Silent: no talking, music on or off screen (Think Modern Times) Talkies: films that for the majority of the film have dialogue and sound

@theposhone How can they be silent films when there's music playing? Most silent films were silent as in no speak or music in any way, shape or form.

[theposhone]

@bucky468 That would be a silent film. Talkie is short for a 'talking' film...films out in 2010 are technically 'talkies'
