Tide of Empire (1929)

A story of the California gold rush. But don't let that keep you away. This might have been an epic, but, thanks to Director Allan Dwan and Actress Renee Adoree, it isn't. It's a human melodrama with color and sparkle. Adoree, as the fiery senorita, again proves herself a trouper of the highest calibre. George Duryea gives his work a swashbucling hit. A standard pattern film, but great entertainment.
