Polly with a Past is a 1920 American silent film produced and distributed by Metro Pictures and directed by Leander de Cordova.
This film is based on a 1917 Broadway stage play produced by David Belasco that starred Ina Claire, and it is Claire who stars and reprises her stage role for this film. Clifton Webb, later a famous star in films, has an early unbilled screen appearance in this film.
As with many Metro Pictures productions from the period from the late 1910s to the early 1920s, this film is lost.[1][2][3][4]
