Peter Milne Motion Picture News 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. May 11, 2021 Full Review EH Staff Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald) '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. May 11, 2021 Full Review Clipper Staff New York Clipper 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. May 11, 2021 Full Review Robert C. McElravy Moving Picture World 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. May 11, 2021 Full Review Genevieve Harris Motography 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. Jul 29, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
