Tide of Empire (1929)

MGM
Directed by Allan Dwan
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Dashing 49er George Duryea (aka Tom Keene) falls in love with spitfire senorita Renee Adoree at the beginning of the California gold rush. She resists him all the way, but he just shrugs it off and keeps on trying. After he wins her father's ranch in a horse race, he thinks he can use it to win her love. First, he's got to fight off the lawless hoards taking over their town. Less romance and more action would have helped this silent with a music and effects soundtrack.
