Bunty Pulls the Strings is a lost[1] 1921 American silent comedy film directed by Reginald Barker and starring Leatrice Joy.

[3][4] Bunty Biggar, sister of Rab and Jeemy, lives with her brothers and her father Tammas in a small Scottish village.

The latter, in love with Bunty, takes her as his wife: the wedding is celebrated with a double ceremony, which also sees Tammas and Eelen in front of the altar.

In order to translate this to the silent medium, Goldwyn's vice president Abraham Lehr, told Exhibitors Herald, "Our big task in 'Bunty Pulls the Strings' was to retain consistent Scotch atmosphere throughout the entire picture.

Lehr went on, "To retain fidelity to Scotch atmosphere we leased a ranch which abounded in highlands and lowlands, with a stream so situated as to enable our workmen to build streets on each side of it.
