Times (UK) Staff The Times (UK) It is all quite amusing, but the same kind of thing has been seen so often before that it is not very effective. Jul 16, 2020 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Such a mixed bag of tones and registers that it can survive a bit of bad comedy, just like it can survive a bit of tedious overplotting. Rated: 7/10 Mar 31, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

acsdoug D One of Fairbanks' early "full length" features, the film feels padded out to me. After fighting fires and catching criminals in New York he goes to Mexico and captures Pancho Villa before finding out he is a long lost European prince. It's a bit of a mess. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Audience Member The best comedy movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Fairbanks first project delivered 2 the newly formed UA studios Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
