Exploring the stylistic flair in The Big Game is a journey into United States cinema, the thematic layers of this 1924 classic invite a wider exploration of the genre. If Duane Thompson, Sidney Smith impressed you, these next recommendations will too.
With Charles Lamont at the helm, The Big Game became to reinvent the tropes of Short cinema for a global audience.
Sid is in love with a girl whose father thinks that Sid is not worthy as a husband because of his timidity. Therefore he decides to test his courage by refusing the hand of his daughter until Sid has proved his valor in the hunting of big game. The father sends Sid on a hunting expedition with a friend who is famous as a hunter. They go into the woods where Sid shows plainly the fact that he is a novice but by strange set of circumstances or perhaps through luck alone, he comes out much better than his companion. Going home, he claims the girl and marries her.
