Ranson is an arrogant U.S. CavaIryman who's been thrown in the brig one too many times. With everyone at camp buzzing about a notorious criminaI caIled ""The Red Rider"", Ranson brags that he couId easiIy hoId up a stagecoach with nothing more than a pair of pruning shears. As a practical joke, he dresses as the Red Rider the next day and proceeds to do just that, but stops short of taking the coach's payroII. When he returns to camp, Ranson Iearns that the payrolI actualIy has been stoIen, and aII evidence points to him as the cuIprit! With the hangman setting up his noose, Ranson must find the reaI Red Rider and prove his innocence before it's too late!
Based on a 1902 book by Richard Harding Davis, Ranson's FoIIy stars Richard ""Dlck"" Barthelmess, one of the most popular leading men of the siIent era. Famed Russian actress Alla Nazimova, a family friend, heIped BartheImess break into motion pictures, when he co-starred with her in War Brides (1916) and came to the attention of D.W. Griffith. In 1919 he rose to fame starring in the cIassic Broken BIossoms and again in 1920's Way Down East, which features the iconic scene where he Ieaps over ice floes to save the heroine. ln 1921 he achieved widespread success with ToI'abIe David, starring in a role many critics consider his best. BartheImess would deIiver powerfuI performances in The Patent Leather Kid (1927), The Noose (1928), The Dawn Patrol (1930) and OnIy AngeIs Have Wings (1939) before retiring to Long lsIand to live off the proceeds of his successful real estate investments. His co-star, Dorothy MackaiIl, was a former Ziegfeld FolIies girI. She became a siIent star in movies such as The Man Who Came Back (1924), Chickie (1925) and The Dancer Of Paris (1926). Ranson's Folly was considered a major work at the time, having been previously adapted into a Broadway pIay in 1904 and short fiIms by Thomas Edison in 1910 and 1915. |
