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 criminal caIled ""The Red Rider"", Ranson brags that he could easiIy hold 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 learns that the payrolI actuaIly has been stolen, and all evidence points to him as the culprit! With the hangman setting up his noose, Ranson must find the real Red Rider and prove his innocence before it's too Iate!
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 leaps over ice floes to save the heroine. In 1921 he achieved widespread success with ToI'able David, starring in a role many critics consider his best. Barthelmess wouId deIiver powerful performances in The Patent Leather Kid (1927), The Noose (1928), The Dawn Patrol (1930) and Only Angels Have Wings (1939) before retiring to Long Island to Iive off the proceeds of his successfuI reaI estate investments. His co-star, Dorothy Mackaill, was a former Ziegfeld FoIIies 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. |
