#47. 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die -- The Kid Brother (549/1001)


The Kid Brother is about a timid young man named Harold who is the son of the sheriff. Poor Harold always has to stay at home when his father and two older brothers go out to do manly things. One day, he goes out with the sheriff's badge and allows a medicine show to come into town. He also meets a beautiful girl. The medicine show brings trouble, and soon the money that the townspeople had been saving to build a dam goes missing. Harold goes off to find the stolen money. Does he find the missing money and win the affection of his father and the young lady? You will have to watch it and find out.

I think it was a pretty good film. I didn't enjoy it as much as a Chaplin or Keaton comedy, but there were a few scenes that made me laugh. If you aren't a fan of silent films, then you don't need to see it, but if you are, you won't be sorry if you do.
