The Villain Still Pursued Her
1940 · Edward F. Cline · 66 min
Good to the Last Drop...of the Villain...the Girl...or Maybe the Scenery!
Victorian melodrama is sent up in this spoof of the old production "The Drunkard; or, The Fallen Saved." Dastardly villain Silas Cribbs schemes to get his lusty clutches on the virtuous heroine by driving her naïve husband to alcoholic ruin. Luckily, a temperance lecturer is on hand to set things straight, as is Buster Keaton as William Dalton, the drunkard's friend.
