4/10
To see or not to see, that is the question!

Warning: Spoilers
It is obvious that, like me, all the previous reviewers have not seen "Run, Girl, Run" but a most disappointingly cut-down version that omits the Technicolor sequence for a starter and plays what's left in a partial fog. Fortunately, Carole Lombard still manages to shine, despite the fact that the blurry, cut-down copy (which seems to be the only one that has survived) hardly does her justice. Needless to say, a lot of much less interesting non-Lombard material is also on hand. A short woman and a fat woman are prominently featured. The short-stop seems to be the coach, would you believe, whilst the fat girl is along strictly for laughs. No matter that the situations are not the least bit plausible. In fact, the film's makers even mock themselves for a weird wind-up they doubtless thought was rather amusing, but that I thought was just so much blah. Available on a just barely watchable Alpha DVD in the "Sennett Classics" compilation.
