The Joy Girl

The Joy Girl is a 1927 American two-strip Technicolor silent comedy film directed by Allan Dwan, released by Fox Film Corporation, starring Olive Borden, Neil Hamilton, and Marie Dressler, and based on the short story of the same name by May Edginton.

It transpires that the roles were, in fact, reversed; Hamilton is the millionaire and the other man a chauffeur.

Jewel is crushed, but manages to do well for herself in business, until the real millionaire and she find themselves reconciled.

It was the last film to be shot in the second Technicolor process ("System 2"), before the company's implementation of a new, improved format in 1928.
