The Red Mill is a 1927 American silent comedy film directed by Roscoe Arbuckle (as William Goodrich) that starred Marion Davies and was produced by King Vidor.

[2] Although Arbuckle was acquitted in the third trial for the death of Virginia Rappe, he could not obtain work in Hollywood under his own name, so he adopted the pseudonym William Goodrich for directing the comedy shorts he made under his contract with Educational Film Exchanges.

[3] Tina (Marion Davies), the drudge of the Red Mill Tavern in Holland, works hard and long hours, with her only company being a mouse, named Ignatz.

Dennis Wheat (Owen Moore), a foreigner who came to the Netherlands for the damsels, is accompanied by his valet Caesar Rinkle (Snitz Edwards).

Dennis returns in the spring and takes an interest in the Burgomaster's daughter Gretchen (Louise Fazenda), who is about to marry the Governor (William Orlamond) but actually is in love with Captain Jacop Van Goop (Karl Dane).

Meanwhile, Caesar overhears someone saying Gretchen will inherit her grandfather's estate the day she marries and immediately informs Dennis.

[5] In her 23rd film, Marion Davies played a Dutch kitchen drudge who gets involved in a case of mistaken identity.

While Davies fondly remembered working with Louise Fazenda and Owen Moore, she had quite different memories of being repeatedly dunked in a hole in the ice.

[7] The film aired on the cable channel Turner Classic Movies on January 3, 2008, which was the birthday of leading role actress Marion Davies.
