Featured review
Nice little three-reeler with really good action; well acted; Mary Astor's second film.
"My Lady o' the Pines" (1921) was Mary Astor's second film, a nicely done three-reeler which also starred Huntley Gordon with whom Astor had starred in her first film, too, earlier in the year. Astor was a fifteen year old beauty who already had some acting chops, though her performance lacks the dynamics she picked up with forty more years experience. A gripping tale actually, this one has Astor the owner/proprietor of a section of pine woods - her "castle". She's being slyly bullied into selling, or even losing, her share to a competitor with absolutely no scruples or compunction, but she's unaware of the fact until Huntley Gordon comes to town. He's been hired to do a survey on the sly (by Astor's competitor) which will be used to coerce her into something she wouldn't want to do. But the bullies will have to pay, won't they? Such a rhetorical question shouldn't even have to be asked with respect to a 28 minute film of 1921.
This film appears along with the feature "Other Men's Shoes" (1920) which was a Kickstarter campaign by Ed Lorusso. Frankly, this short is far better than the feature, and it's actually extremely well acted and well directed, with decent progression, and a good share of fine photography. The action is first rate! Musical accompaniment is provided by Ed Lorusso who also provided the score - and it's really good, appropriate and well performed. Though most wouldn't notice, there are a couple of continuity things which I found only very slightly disconcerting: they were a cutting problem. As I say, most won't notice.
This is a Holman Day production starring Gordon, Astor, Bradley Barker, Charles Slattery and Fred Bond.
