For Her Sake; or, Two Sailors and a Girl (1909) User Reviews

The same story that has often been told

[deickemeyer · 10 January 2015]

A melodrama from the Vitagraph studio, with accompanying details of unyielding jealousy, business failure, shipwreck and the reunion of friends who have been separated for many years by reason of the jealousy. It is unnecessary to repeat the story. It is the same that has often been told where friends quarrel over a woman and where there is much to be forgiven and forgotten when finally the men renew their friendship following a wreck in which one is badly injured. And then the home coming, and the reunion of all in the home after the unexpected return. It is all here and there is much more that adds to the effectiveness. The action and the acting are alike satisfactory and the thrill of pleasure when the difficulties are amicably settled is sufficient to be noticeable in the audience. The technical work is in harmony with the reputation of the company and the whole picture will undoubtedly prove very popular with the people. - The Moving Picture World, October 23, 1909
