A movie I enjoyed and deserves to be to be commended is the 1919 "The Son-of-a-Gun".
Alpha have an excellent print of the slightly cut-down, fast-moving 51-minutes Kodascope version.
Written (with Jess Robbins) and directed by the popular star, Broncho Billy Anderson, this film is a pleasure to watch.
I'll certainly say this for Billy, he certainly doesn't believe in giving himself any flattering camera angles.
Would you believe that photogenically, everyone else in the cast from heroine Joy Lewis (this is her last of only 4 films) to juvenile Paul Willis and super-busy villain, Fred Church, comes off better than the star.
Locations are attractively utilized too. And the movie certainly features plenty of action!
