Naughty Nanette

Nanette is a whirlwind of small-town sincerity trapped in a Jazz Age marketing trap. While the title suggests a scandalous romp, the film is actually a lighthearted comedy of errors centered on Nanette’s journey from rural obscurity to the high-stakes social circles of the city. She isn't searching for trouble; she is searching for her sister, but her relentless energy and refusal to conform to urban pretensions make her an accidental iconoclast. Through a series of misunderstandings involving stolen identities and high-society galas, Nanette proves that being 'naughty' is often just a matter of being honest in a room full of liars. It is a vibrant, if structurally thin, showcase for the kinetic physical comedy of the era.
