Early western masterpiece from silent era
24 October 2022
The return od Draw Egan is a 50 minutes early western from 1916 with iconic William Hart. It can be considered as a masterpiece with Hart playing a bandit becoming a honest Marshall in a corrupted town. William Hart has a luminous face with a sharp look for every situation, don't miss his fast shooting. Salloon's scenes are a success with lot of tension between the corrupted and the honest. The return of Draw Egan might be one of the very first western to present this situation we'll see in lot of later westerns, well I'll have to find titles with similar subject in that early era. And William Hart is really a great actor, I just regret he didn't go further.
