A well told tale

THE KNIGHT OF THE TRAIL is an early William S. Hart picture, in which all the usual elements of his pictures are present. Sparse, filled with excellent, underplayed acting -- Frank Borzage, who went on to become a great director, plays the villain here -- and a straightforward story line, this is an excellent introduction to the silent western for someone without enough patience to sit through TUMBLEWEEDS at one showing.
