Peter Milne Motion Picture News 05/11/2021
The scenes seem to lack a certain snap and sustaining power that, if present, would have welded them into a much more powerful whole. Even as it is, however... there are places where the originality of the idea carries it to stronger heights. Go to Full Review EH Staff Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald) 05/11/2021
'49-'17 is one of those productions which makes one move from one side of the seat to the other, open and close the eyes, and then finally drop off to sleep without the slightest effort. Go to Full Review Clipper Staff New York Clipper 05/11/2021
Good acting is done by Joe Girard, Donna Drew and the rest of the company. Ruth Ann Baldwin has acquitted herself with credit in the dual capacity of scenario writer and director. Go to Full Review Robert C. McElravy Moving Picture World 05/11/2021
There is not much dramatic strength in the first four reels, but the plot Is fresh and not so obvious as sometimes happens, and there is sufficient drama in the last reel to provide a strong finish. Go to Full Review Genevieve Harris Motography 07/29/2020
The acting is uniformly good. The photography and settings are satisfactory. The picture, while not remarkable, will satisfy audiences with a taste for western melodramas. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
