Tillie is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Frank Urson and starring Mary Miles Minter.
The scenario was written by Alice Eyton, based on the novel Tillie, the Mennonite Maid by Helen Reimensnyder Martin.
Tillie longs for education and for an escape from the drudgery of her life, but only the kindly Doc Weaver (Littlefield) understands her ambitions.
Unbeknownst to Tillie, an elderly relative has willed her a small fortune, but only if she should enter into the Mennonite church by the time she has turned eighteen.
The lawyer and Absalom are both aware of the terms of the will, and plot to share Tillie's fortune between them once they have convinced her to wed. One day, Jack Fairchild (Forrest) comes to the town and finding himself captivated by Tillie, he takes up the position of the local schoolmaster so that he can remain close to her.
