Dennis O'Hara is a poverty-stricken Irishman who believes (in typical movie-cliche fashion) that if he comes to America he will immediately land a job as a policeman. So he manages to scrape together the funds to get him to Manhattan, and leaves his sweetheart Katie O'Grady behind while he makes his fortune. Naturally he discovers that joining the force isn't as easy as he expected, and when he does finally get in, he winds up in trouble because of the graft collections of his boss.

PUNQ

Rated 02 Oct 2020

Such a minor picture in the grand scheme of things, but the thing to take away from this was that A Son of Erin (1916) was directed by a woman. Julia Crawford Ivers, who was primarily a screenwriter who dabbled briefly with directing in the 1910s. This is the first directorial job I've seen of hers, though, I've seen some of the ones she'd worked on as a writer. Simple and straight-forward. Easy to get what's going on, but you can't spot any specific touches she adds to a basic production.
