Johanna Enlists - 1918 - 6/10
Enlisting … well, not exactly.
For Johanna, she might as well be living in 1418; her life is primitive and backbreaking.
Until the artillery regiment camps on the Ransallar farm in Pennsylvania.
A whole regiment of eligible menfolk. And she is the lone attraction.
The main two suitors include a handsome lieutenant and a stalwart private.
I assumed going in, that with Mary Pickford and William Desmond Taylor involved, this would be schmaltzy.
This is classic Pickford, and she emotes intensely.
She was also honorary colonel (and godmother) to the 143rd Field Artillery (shown in this).
