Heliophage

Rated 26 Apr 2014

Early Griffith "feature" that's more a series of shorts on a common theme. By Griffith standards, the acting's quite good, though things are fairly simple otherwise (though we do get a suspense and action scene in the third part, and the final little purgatorio and apotheosis is an interesting sequence to see from Griffith). The main drawback is that it's a re-visitation of so many hokey old shorts, made all the sillier by the magical ability of a few notes of "Home, Sweet Home" to cure vice.
