The Patsy is a 1928 American silent comedy-drama film directed by King Vidor,[2] co-produced by and starring Marion Davies for Cosmopolitan Productions, and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Davies played the dowdy and downtrodden Patricia, the younger daughter in a household ruled by an imperious mother (Dressler) and selfish sister (Jane Winton).

This was Davies' first film of three with director King Vidor and the only time she appeared with Marie Dressler.

The film received good reviews, and was a box office success.

[3] Hearst and MGM subsequently assigned Vidor to begin working on another vehicle for Davies.
