Newshour - How a lost Clara Bow film was inadvertently bought for $20 - How a lost Clara Bow film...

There is perhaps no one who more personifies the roaring twenties, a period of rapid economic growth and social change at the beginning of last century, than the silent movie actress Clara Bow. With her close-cropped short hair, her cupid's bow red-lipped mouth and her penchant for playing emancipated women she became the most famous woman of her generation thanks to her stellar acting talent and raucous personal life. And Clara Bow is again turning heads after one of her earliest films, Pill Pounder, was shown at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival following the discovery of a copy of the movie.

Film-maker Gary Huggins told Newshour's Julian Marshall how he inadvertently snapped up this slice of silent movie history.
