Daring Daughters

Terry is a street-smart, independent city girl who's always one step ahead of the urban Casanovas clamoring for her attention. Sophisticated and self-aware, she's determined to protect her pretty but naive sister who has just arrived from the country.

Jean Marsh began her film career at the tender age of two; by age six she was cast in several Mary Pickford films, such as One Hundred Percent American (1918) and Daddy-Long-Legs (1919).
