I won't be long. Just to say that's the only movie in the Douglas Fairbank's filmography which brings him the closest to his father's one. Only in this movie, you think of Douglas Fairbanks Sr when you see Jr jumping, running everywhere as daddy did two decades earlier. It is important to notice this point, I think. For the rest, Jr played all kinds of characters. In a way, he was more complete than his father. But that's a shame that he did not make more movies like this one. He was really gifted; thanks to the genetics I guess. Watch THIEF OF BAGDAD again, the silent movie made by Raoul Walsh, then see this one again, and you'll see what I mean. He refused to play in ADVENTURE OF ROBIN HOOD and Errol Flynn became the new Douglas Fairbanks, thanks to Jr. Maybe that's the reason why Jr did not even try to imitate his dad. Flynn was there.
