Almost Human

1927 · 60 min Comedy Drama Romance
8.0 / 10 · TMDB

John Livingston is a rich mama's-boy, who owns a blooded dog named Paul. Paul meets Maggie Mutt, and Paul, being a pedigree canine and somewhat of a cad, lures trusting Maggie to the barn to have his way. He then departs for his palatial doghouse at the Livingston estate. Meanwhile Maggie is broken-hearted and also finds that she is in a "family way", and gives birth to a pup she names Hank. Maggie tells Hank to find his "human ", and departs the scene. Hank goes to the park, meets a "human" named Mary Kelly, who is a homeless waif and sweetheart of poverty, and the two adopt each other. Later on in the park Paul comes strolling along with his 'human', John. A child falls into the lake and Paul and Hank team up to save her.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on a parallel between the worlds of humans and dogs, using anthropomorphized animal characters to explore themes of class disparity, responsibility, and redemption. It relies on this clever satire to mirror human foibles through canine 'romance' and social standing.

What lingers after the viewing is a charming, morally instructive tale where humor and pathos blend seamlessly, reminding us that true pedigree is proven by action, not lineage. — MovieFinder Editorial
