Could do better


Getting Even (1909)

Directed by D. W. Griffith this film stars Billy Quirk, Mark Pickford and James Kirkwood. Excluded from hitting on a pretty woman by his buddies a young man plans revenge on them.

I found this silent film a little hard to follow as it lacks titles and the editing could have been a bit sharper. The plot is no great shakes and not especially funny either. Overall this is not what I would term a classic of the period.

2/5
