Eric P @RT06161622 05/22/2022 A Romance of the Redwoods tells the story of young girl named Jenny Lawrence (Mary Pickford) who goes out west to live with her uncle during the famous Gold Rush in California but realizes that he has been killed by Native Americans and his identity has been stolen by a bandit. This film is slightly average yet serviceable. Maybe because despite having Mary Pickford, Cecil B. DeMille does not know where to go from there. Mr. DeMille poorly executed this film in what had so much potential but it ended up just being an average yet serviceable motion picture.

Being DeMille, this is a solid production, and Pickford's performance is excellent, but there is little to distinguish this from other silent melodramas built around an all too familiar and popular storyline of the time, that in the end usually resulted in a somewhat strained happy ending.

I can see why she was such a big star. The stories are becoming better crafted too and the acting, though hammy, is becoming more realistic.

Eliott Dexter & Mary Pickford play hillarious and the Soundtrack is bombastic. See more Read all reviews
