The Mighty (1929)





This is Bancroft's greatest role to date. He is not only the he-man, but a handsome one as well, with all sorts of sex appeal. From a gunman drafted into the war, he returns a major, with all the honors his town can offer. His first job is to clean up the city. What a pineapple for the crooks! "The Mighty" has comedy, drama, and heart interest. Great entertainment.
