Looking pretty much as he did in his thirties heyday, Leslie Howard stalks the comely Pauline Johnson through various attractive suburban settings in this slick, enjoyable silent comedy filmed almost entirely on location, which rather boldly allows even its most staid characters a taste for the thrill of illicit romance when one after another they discover an anonymous letter that has gone astray.
Bookworms may be a short film (at little over twenty minutes long) but each individual second is jampacked with more charm, elegance, wit, and grace than you're bound to find in most full length flicks.A young Leslie Howard plays Richard, a boy who falls in love with the neighborhood girl, Miranda (played by the fresh Pauline Johnson).
