About The Unfortunate Sex
Given away by her wealthy father, James Harrington, as an infant because she was born a female, Peggy has been raised by a kindly underworld crook. One day, while selling papers at the news stand, Peggy meets rising young attorney George Bentley who convinces her to aid the police in capturing Spike Kelly, a notorious member of her foster parent's gang.
Directed by Elsier La Maie, The Unfortunate Sex leans on a strong ensemble — Frances Edmonde, George Larkin, Harry von Meter — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1920.
