Scarlet Car, The (1917)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Paul Revere Forbes (Lon Chaney) works at a small bank but he's also the distant relative of the Paul Revere, which makes his brag all the time. One day he catches his boxes trying to cover up some missing money and threatens to tell on them but they accidentally kill him--or so they think. Months later the man reappears to try and bring justice to the crooks. This is certainly a lesser Chaney film, although he is pretty good in it. His wacked out hair is certainly worth a brief look but the main players and the story are pretty dull.
