Clothes Make the Woman (1925)
Overview
This film, whose German title is a gender-flipped play on the proverbial phrase “clothes make the man”, shows how the batik dyeing technique is used to create vividly patterned garments in a small retail shop in New York. Different items of clothing are then modelled for the cameras to the, at times, patronising and sexist commentary provided in the intertitles.

Detailed Bias Analysis
Primary
Based solely on the title "Clothes Make the Woman," the film likely explores themes of appearance, social perception, and identity. Without specific plot details or thematic development, no discernible political bias can be identified, resulting in a neutral rating.
Based on the generic title and absence of specific details regarding casting or narrative, the movie is assessed as adhering to traditional representation and framing, without explicit DEI elements.
Secondary
The film does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While a female character cross-dresses as a man, this serves as a plot device for professional opportunity and a heterosexual romance, rather than an exploration of queer identity or sexual orientation.
The film "The Amputee" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. Therefore, an evaluation of its portrayal of such elements is not applicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features a female character who disguises herself as a man within the story. This falls under the exclusion for performances involving gender disguise while maintaining the character's canonical gender, rather than a gender swap of a previously established character.
This 1925 silent film features original characters not established in prior source material or real-world history. Therefore, there is no basis to identify any character as having been race-swapped from a previously established race.
