Review of Lost Patrol

Lost Patrol (1929)
A Lost Film
14 February 2013
Do not be fooled by the other review that appears here. This film does not survive. I wrote to MacIntyre when I first read this enquiring where he saw the film and he replied in a very evasive manner. A few years later the reports of his death appeared in the press and it appears he made a habit of producing fake reviews of lost films, as per his wikipedia entry: "MacIntyre reviewed dozens of older and silent motion pictures on IMDb.com, including a large number of lost films which he claimed to have seen under circumstances the details of which he could not reveal. Some silent film critics and fans believe the reviews to be elaborate jokes, others have accused MacIntyre of muddying the historical record by publishing fake reviews."
