YOUNG IRONSIDES

Cinemavixion Review

This charming 1932 short, "Young Ironsides," offers a delightful glimpse into early comedic filmmaking. The narrative, centering on a wealthy family's anxieties about their daughter Muriel entering a beauty pageant and their subsequent attempt to thwart her participation, is both whimsical and relatable. Local data confirms the presence of comedic talent Charley Chase, and the external data further enriches this by attributing the direction to James Parrott and naming Muriel Evans and Clarence Wilson in the cast. The plot, as described, promises a lighthearted caper with a touch of romantic misadventure as the hired operative, "Fearless," unknowingly encounters his target. It's a testament to the era's ability to craft engaging stories within a concise runtime, making it a worthy discovery for fans of classic comedy.
