LOVE AND VENGEANCE (1914) - Ford Sterling (Sterling Film Co)
And here's the next film in our mini Ford Fest. So as we were saying..... Henry Lehrman left Sennett and took Mack's biggest star Ford Sterling with him. They made films under the banner of The Sterling Motion Picture Company. It didn't last long - less than a year in fact - but here's the first film they made together. As you'll see, it looks and feels just like a Mack Sennett picture - not surprising as Henry Lehrman was one of Sennett's best directors and Ford just carried on "doing Ford". It's rough stuff (Henry loved to throw a brick!) but there's plenty of little bits of Ford Sterling business to delight in. (p.s. Henry Lehrman also plays Ford's rival). The music is selected from Ethan Uslan's highly recommended 'BLAZE AWAY' album. Enjoy!
