It is a 1927 silent romantic comedy film which tells the story of a shop girl who sets her sights on the handsome and wealthy boss of the department store where she works. Because of this film, actress Clara Bow became known as the "It girl". Dorothy Parker famously quipped about Bow's character: "It, hell: She had those." The picture was considered lost, but a nitrate-copy was found in Prague in the 1960s. In 2001, It was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Clara has never been so appealing. I like the scene when her boss, Antonio Moreno, comes into the store and she sees him for the first time. She exclaims to a coworker, "Sweet Santa Claus, give me him!" 
Gary Cooper, who was Clara's lover at the time, makes a very brief appearance as a newspaper reporter.
