Bud's Recruit (5.8)

Film · 1918 · 25 min · Commedia, Drammatico

This WWI home-front comedy is the earliest surviving film of King Vidor, who would later go on to make such classics as The Big Parade and The Crowd. A two-reeler, it's a propaganda comedy involving a little boy who can't wait to go fight against the Kaiser, and who sets an unrelentingly patriotic (and militaristic) example for his draft-age, feminized brother and peace-lovin' mother.

Regia: King Vidor

Con Wallace Brennan, Robert Gordon, Ruth Hampton, Thomas Bellamy, Ernest Butterworth Jr., Mildred Davis, Judge Willis Brown
