THE SON-OF-A-GUN (1919, Golden West) G.M. “Bronco Billy” Anderson, Joy Lewis, Paul Willis. We expected Bronco Billy to be a tough western type, but he turned out to be a paunchy, hard-drinking, six-shooting troublemaker--and funny, too! Bill’s a pistol-packing boozer who hits the local saloon one day and starts trouble that spills over into a dance hall. There, his unruly behavior is suddenly calmed by a beautiful girl. Later, in a terrifcc scene, Bill saves the girl’s brother from card cheats. You think Chaplin’s movies had pathos? Wait ‘til you see the climax of this one. This film shows the talent and flare for character that made Bill the country’s first big western star. Music score, 16mm.
