Classified is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Alfred Santell and produced by and starring Corinne Griffith. It was based on a novel by Edna Ferber and distributed through First National Pictures.[1] The film was remade as Hard to Get by First National (subsidiary by Warner Brothers) in 1929 as an early talkie for Dorothy Mackaill, a Corinne Griffith rival at First National.  PlotAs described in a film magazine review,[2] a telephone operator in the classified advertisement department of a metropolitan daily newspaper longs to get away from her drab surroundings and onto Fifth Avenue. She accepts many invitations from men to ride down the avenue with them in their cars, but up to the time she meets one rich young man is successful in evading their advances. Then she meets a handsome chap who drives a flivver, and, despite its poor condition, is interested in him nevertheless. One night after a motor trip into the country that does not end well, she decides that it is the man of the flivver she wants. Cast
