Jules Caldeira Film Inquiry The Grub Stake, a lesser-known gem of feminism both in front of and behind the camera, is a wonderful example of a woman and her uncompromising vision. Dec 9, 2023 Full Review George T. Pardy Exhibitor's Trade Review [There are] hairbreadth escapes and thrills galore, the plot is a bit far-fetched and at times unconvincing, but patrons who find pleasure in viewing features of this type are not likely to care whether the story's logic is a little strained or not.
