Forgotten Star?

[gnok2002 · 4/10 · 1 June 2019]

I'm inserting reviews for films that lack one.... So here it is 'Heir to cement company flees town pursued by police for dangerous driving, he hops a freight train to check out a non paying company in a small backwoods town, where he finds crooks and falls for the sheriffs daughter, it's ok.' My interrogative heading relates to the producer / star Richard Talmadge an ex acrobat, who not surprisingly was a physical comedian, the opening credits make big play that he did all his own stunts, no camera tricks. He soon switched to stunt and 2nd unit work, and had a long career, however I had never heard of him, and his films appear to be forgotten, this is the first / only review and it has at present 16 votes. All that said there are a few good stunts as he travels the freight train, and mixes with the baddies, however I slightly preferred Laughing at Danger (1924) the other film on the Alpha DVD, both prints are worn but watchable. overall I rate this ok.
