The Moonshiner's Daughter (1910) User Reviews

Moonshiners always have pretty daughters

[deickemeyer · 19 August 2015]

Romance seems to be a necessary portion of the life of a moonshiner. Moonshiners always have pretty daughters, too, most of whom are languishing for some bold man to appear and love them. Considerable interest attaches to this film, partly because of the love story connected with it and partly because of the grim illustration it gives of the life of the moonshiner and how dangerous it is for a stranger to wander near an illicit still. Fortunately, perhaps, for all, the stranger here depicted lacked sand and the lovers eventually overcome the objections of the girl's people. Loving a moonshiner's daughter, under the conditions here presented would not be an especially attractive pastime. - The Moving Picture World, September 17, 1910
