The Blooming Angel is a 1920 American silent comedy film directed by Victor Schertzinger and starring Madge Kennedy, Pat O'Malley, and Margery Wilson.[1]
Floss Brannon, ousted from college due to her mischievous behavior, marries Chester Framm, a struggling young student with aspirations of becoming an orator. Facing financial strain from Chester's meager income as an insurance clerk, Floss devises a solution by creating a complexion cream named "Angel Bloom." To leverage Chester's oratory skills for promoting Angel Bloom, Floss orchestrates a plan involving renting an elephant, coating it with the cream, and having Chester endorse the product while riding on the elephant's back.
However, Floss's scheme takes a downturn when the elephant collapses, leading her rival, Carlotta, to accuse her of animal cruelty. Floss's innocence is eventually established during the trial when the elephant unexpectedly recovers and makes a dramatic appearance outside the courtroom window. The resulting publicity brings significant financial success to Chester, Floss, and Angel Bloom.
