One of two Ince shorts on the "Civil War Films of the Silent Era" DVD (along with the feature The Coward), Granddad is a notch or two down in print quality from the other, The Drummer of the 8th, but considerably more charming as a film, a piece of manly tearjerking nostalgia worthy of John Ford, and with a lead player of the Henry Travers type who would have fit right into the Fordian stable. It's nothing more than an I-told-you-so anecdote about the old veteran who's not appreciated by his teetotaling daughter-in-law, but nicely done. I believe that's Frank Borzage as the son (he's listed on the box, but it doesn't say where he appears). Perhaps he should consider another line of work, such as directing.
