The Whole Town's Talking (1926): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 1926, The Whole Town's Talking is a notable film directed by Edward Laemmle.

What it’s about. Chester Binney, a wounded war veteran, erroneously believes he is carrying a silver plate in his head and must avoid all excitement. He returns to his hometown, and there his former employer, George Simmons, attempts to arrange a match between Chester (who is to inherit a fortune) and his daughter Ethel. Ethel, however, finds Chester unexciting as a lover; and to enliven the affair, the father invents a lurid past for the boy by displaying a signed photograph of Rita Renault, a famous movie star. Rita, accompanied by her jealous husband, Jack Shields, arrives in the town for a personal appearance. By chance, Jack discovers the photograph of Rita, presumably the property of Chester, and when he sees his wife kissing Chester, a running fight ensues.

Who’s in it. The Whole Town's Talking stars Edward Everett Horton as Chester Binney, Otis Harlan as George Simmonns, Aileen Manning as Mrs. Van Loon and Hayden Stevenson as Tom O'Brien, among others.
