Hoodman Blind

1923 · 60 min Drama
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

John Linden, a victim of wanderlust, jumbles up his life and that of his two daughters. One is a daughter by marriage, the other an offspring of Jessie Walton, a young woman of the village. Noting the resemblance of the two, unscrupulous Mark Lezzard, the sea town's only lawyer, arouses the jealousy of the first daughter's husband Jack Yeulette, the skipper of a fishing smack, hoping to gain her for himself and thereby obtain control over the money John provides for her on a regular basis. After much havoc, happiness is the lot of everyone except Lezzard, whom the crowd "fixes" when they learn of what a wretch he is. A lost film.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic melodramatic conflict between pastoral simplicity and urban deceit, relying on the potent motif of a hidden family resemblance. It explores the corrosive power of greed within a closed community, where money dictates fate.

What lingers after the crowd's rough justice is a sense of moral order restored, yet the pathos of disrupted lives remains. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: John Ford
