The Caveman

About the Film

Myra the heiress is bored. What else to do but grab a he-man from the tenements and passs him off as a professor? This gender-reversed Pygmalion is one of three comedies made by Marie Prevost with director Lewis Milestone who knew that sometimes all you need to get a laugh is the right camera position—and the devil’s favorite coquette in a starring role. With Matt Moore as a hilarious fish-out-of-water coal heaver and Myrna Loy as the wary maid.
