THAT CERTAIN THING is a US silent romantic comedy, from 1928, in which a woman’s dreams of marrying a millionaire fall apart when her new husband is disinherited.
violence
One man punches another in a sequence of comic violence. A dog is falsely blamed for a wet patch on a carpet and has its nose thrust towards the stain as punishment. Other scenes contain very mild slapstick.
sex
There are very mild scenes of romance and kissing. A maid smiles to herself after seeing a ‘do not disturb’ sign on the door of a honeymooning couple’s hotel room.
theme
An upset woman is publicly mocked and called a ‘gold digger’ by her neighbours after separating from her husband. However, the situation is resolved reassuringly.
additional issues
When a man attempts to return a woman’s handkerchief, she scornfully tells him to keep it and ‘blow his brains out’. Natural rear nudity occurs during scenes in which a woman bathes two young children. Characters smoke cigarettes and cigars, reflecting the era in which the film was made, and a comic scene shows a man in a drunken state.
