About The Jolly Jilter
Ben Turpin, a self-proclaimed "lady killer" finds himself in a difficult romantic predicament. Currently engaged to a woman described as a "gold-digger" (played by Madeleine Hurlock), Ben decides he must first end his relationship with his former lover, a showgirl and theater dancer named Alma Bennett.
Directed by Edward F. Cline, The Jolly Jilter leans on a strong ensemble — Ben Turpin, Madeline Hurlock, Sunshine Hart — 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 comedy titles of 1927.
