Saved by the dog flap

The Battle at Elderbush Gulch (1913)

Directed by D. W. Griffith this film stars Mae Marsh, Lillian Gish and Lionel Barrymore. Two orphaned sisters are sent to live with a relative, then Native Americans attack.

This film is typical of early Griffith action films in it's form and a standard example of suspect views towards Native Americans. Not much stands out about this film but it is a fairly decent watch if you can ignore how the Native Americans are treated. The action is decent but on par with Griffith's other films of the period.

3/5
