What happens

Sally Sallies Forth is a 1928 silent British one-reeler black and white film, with a rare all female cast and crew. It was written and directed by Frances Lascot and filmed and edited by Ivy A. Low. It should not be confused with the 1933 British film of the same name. Usually described as "amateur" as neither the director nor actors were paid (despite claiming an "all-star cast") and it was never on general release, it is nevertheless an important milestone in female film-making.
