User Reviews

Sadly lost to the ages

Despite the hoaxster other review this film is indeed lost...please check your attics.

This film was made in 1920 by Raoul Walsh and starred his wife Miriam Cooper. Miriam Cooper stated it was a family production as her brother was the assistant director, her son was an extra, and her mother was also an extra.

The film did decent at the box office and was a series of films the married couple did together. Sadly to this day only 5 of Miriam Cooper's features still exist (and only 2 of them were from her starring days).
