Flattery is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Tom Forman and starring John Bowers, Marguerite De La Motte, and Alan Hale. [1]
As described in a review in a film magazine, [2] Reginald Mallory (Bowers) has been susceptible to flattery since youth. Politicians make him city engineer so that they may have a “goat,” and he is wheedled into signing a contract without reading it. All lose faith in Mallory except Betty Biddle (De La Motte), his sweetheart, daughter of the president of a construction company. Mallory apparently plays the game and turns crooked, but in the end it is discovered that he has been obtaining evidence against the crooks.
With no prints of Flattery located in any film archives, [3] it is a lost film.
