Come on Over is a 1922 American comedy silent black and white film directed by Alfred E. Green and based on the stage musical by Rupert Hughes. [1] It stars Colleen Moore. [2] [3] Its release beat The Wall Flower to the theaters and it was well received. [4]
As described in a film magazine, [5] L. William O'Connell (Moore) bids a fond goodbye to Shane O'Mealia (Graves) when he sets sail from Ireland to the United States. He promises that he will send for her. Three years then go by. He has ill luck in New York City, where he loses one job after another. After he helps Dugan (Collins) reform from drink, the daughter Judy (O'Connor) falls in love with Shane. Finally, Moyna comes to America with the Morahans and, misunderstanding Shane's interest in Judy, flies into a tantrum. However, it all ends happily.
