 "Little" Mary Pickford (qv), the silent film star, liked  Ernst Lubitsch (qv)s tasteful touches of suggestiveness enough to  ask him to direct her in a film that would help her show more  maturity on screen. But she did not get along with Lubitsch himself  nor did she appreciate Rosita, the film they made together. In  later years she usually ranked it with her worst films.
