The Kid Brother***
(US 1927)
Paramount. 84m. bw. silent
The weakling of three lumberjack brothers makes good when combating the strongman in a local touring theatre that has stolen his father's funds.
Standard but innovative Lloyd vehicle, not quite as convincing as a story as previous efforts, but with touching moments, a full-blooded chase climax, and some strong production at the twilight of the silent era.
