Twelve Miles Out

Twelve Miles Out

Rejissyor: Jack Conway, A.P. Younger, Joseph Farnham. I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, along with other pictures of the era that I find interesting, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. In Twelve Miles out, two pirate bootleggers kidnap a young couple who threatened to turn them in to the police. Though Jane, the young woman who is already engaged, starts to become entranced in the life of a smuggler. This John Gilbert and Joan Crawford silent seems to have mostly been forgotten by time, though modern viewers find it exciting, but lacking surprises. This version is unfortunately incomplete, cutting about 20 minutes of character development. What remains is serviceable to the plot, however, and unless a more full print is released by MGM, this is the highest quality version that is publicly available.
