RUBBER TIRES (Theatrical Release USA 1927)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

Rubber Tires—1927 silent film—still maintains its watch-ability due to a solid story and interesting concept. Portrayal of story relies on Actor Harrison Ford, a silent film actor from that era, and the direction comes from Director Alan Hale, the father of actor Alan Hale, Jr. who played ‘Skipper’ in the Gilligan’s Island television series.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. Despite its age, it completely works as a lunch watch. Well done and worth watching.
