It's a Wise Child (US Import MOD BLU-RAY) Coming to Our Shelves June 2026

US Import

Marion Davies delivers one of her finest comedic performances in this smart, early-talkie farce that delights in mistaken impressions and social pretenses. When Joyce Stanton (Davies) becomes the unsuspecting subject of scandal after being wrongly assumed pregnant, she finds the gossip oddly useful – particularly as it helps her sidestep and unwanted marriage to a wealthy suitor. As whispers spread and assumptions multiply, Joyce allows the misunderstanding to play out, with increasingly comic results. Under Robert Z. Leonard's sharp direction, light on its feet and rich in its zesty pre-Code flavor, "It's a Wise Child" displays Marion Davies' impeccable timing and screen charm, offering a witty portrait of small-town morality turned upside down – and a reminder of why she ranked among Hollywood's most engaging stars. Out of general distribution for decades and never shown on television, the Warner Archive Collection is proud to bring this re-code rarity to Blu-ray, allowing classic film fans to add this rarity to their collections.
