PUNQ

Rated 04 Nov 2021

After completing the well regarded crime film Alias Jimmy Valentine (1915), director Maurice Tourneur brings over with him two of its stars Johnny Hines & Robert Cummings, and very little else of star power, for a more rural experience. More a comic touch, but there's still danger. At least for The Cub (1915) reporter played by Hines. Sometime fun, sometimes not. Hardly Tourneur's best US work, but there is enough mayhem here to amuse some.
