PUNQ

Rated 27 Jan 2018

The Pickford Family were one of the biggest power families in early Hollywood, and even Jack Pickford was a player producing his own films until his wife died tragically and he lost his fire. This was one of those that he produced. Honestly, there is not many laughs here, but there is a certain charm to it. It plays into the likable sad and you get behind him. I'm not going to claim he's anywhere near as talented as his sister Mary, but he had his own thing going until depression hit him.
