Is one of my very favorite old movies-- it really shows you what they were accomplishing with location filming in the late silent era, right before sound came in and chained the filmmakers to studio sets for the next fifteen years or so. The driving stunts and race sequences are tremendous. There's also an amazing Coney Island sequence early in the film that really makes you feel what it would have been like to be there. The Babe's appearance is not the acting highlight of the film, but it's great to see him. Get it from netflix and see the whole thing!
