Racing Through

Mae Marsh stars in this early silent drama, a film that, true to its title, throws us into a frantic dash against time and circumstance. It’s a classic tale of innocence imperiled, with a young woman caught in some kind of high-stakes predicament, likely involving a dastardly scheme and a desperate pursuit. Expect the melodrama to be dialed all the way up, as was the fashion, with our heroine navigating dangers both personal and physical.
