Tillie the Toiler (1927 film)

Tillie the Toiler is a 1927 American silent film comedy produced by Cosmopolitan Productions and released through Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios.

After landing a job at a clothing factory, Tillie soon finds herself embroiled in romantic relationships and office politics.

Tillie's wit and tenacity are put to the test as she tries to succeed in both her personal and professional lives throughout the entire movie.

In her 24th film, Marion Davies starred as the scatterbrained Tillie Jones, which was based on the famous comic strip.

Lucille Ball always claimed she had a bit part as an extra in this film, but was only 16 years old and was still on the East Coast while Tillie the Toiler was shot in Hollywood.
