The Love Trap Movie Review 1929

Early partial talkie (the film starts off as a silent with captions) is your basic Cinderella story. Chorus girl Laura Todd (La Plante) loses her job and gets booted out of her apartment. Cabbie Peter Cadwallader (Hamilton) offers his taxi as shelter and the two fall in love and marry--much to the displeasure of his snooty (and wealthy) family. The DVD includes the documentary "Directed by William Wyler."
