The Good Bad-Man (1916)

The Good Bad-Man: Directed by Allan Dwan. With Douglas Fairbanks, Sam De Grasse, Pomeroy Cannon, Joseph Singleton. An outlaw calling himself Passin’ Through halts his “evil” ways long enough to help out some children in difficulty.

“Douglas Fairbanks is u0026quot;Passinu0026#39; Throughu0026quot; – a dangerous gunslinger with a heart of gold. When he alights upon the young Bessie Love, who lives with her paralysed father, he takes a bit of a shine to her and helps fend off the unwanted attentions of local kingpin u0026quot;the Wolfu0026quot; (Sam de Grasse) whilst helping out some local kids with problems of their own. This isnu0026#39;t anyoneu0026#39;s finest work – more procedural with little action. What there is, is almost exhibition stuff akin the sights you might see at a travelling rodeo. Itu0026#39;s an easy watch, however , well produced – just nothing special.”
