With Beery, O'Brien and Maine, who needs a plot?

by Silents Fan • 2001-12-13

7/10

"Sure, this is just another horse opera, but who cares? Wallace Beery is more entertaining just being Wallace Beery than most actors are with sparkling dialogue and auteur direction. Magararet O'Brien: Shirley Temple she ain't! When people talk about child stars, they usually mention Jackie Coogan and Jackie Cooper; Mickey Rooney and Dickie Moore; Baby Peggy and Hailie Mills. Give me Margaret O'Brien any day. Marjorie Main could lick her weight in Marie Dresslers, any day. Pure entertainment!..."
