Denver and Rio Grande is a classic western film set in the 1870s during the post-American Civil War era. The plot revolves around a fierce business competition between two railroad companies, with a saloon owner, framed for murder, seeking revenge on his brother's death. The story features gun violence, sabotage, train robberies, and a race against time to lay railroad tracks in the treacherous Colorado Mountains. It combines the thrill of a traditional B-western with stunning Technicolor visuals and explosive action scenes.
This Keystone from the end of 1914, involving the usual suspects running around some plumbing issues will not hold many surprises for those familiar with Keystone in this period, or, indeed, with the works of the Three Stooges, who often played inept plumbers. It is, nonetheless, very nicely performed, especially by Charles Murray who mugs it up freely and ineptly, as well as the pretty girl who plays the house's maid.
An alarm clock wakes a man who washes his face, has breakfast, drives his car to work, spins records, returns home, and takes his pills. It's a world of circles - often seen from above: an espresso cup, a stairwell, the pills, and the records spinning. At the dance where the music plays, the rhythms evoke images of a butcher slicing head cheese, gears driving other wheels and levers, a combine churning out bales of hay, a butcher cutting chunks of meat for a stew, and boxers punching. The circle of music and life.
