The Fisherboy's Faith (1912) User Reviews

Excellent entertainment more on account of its style than of its story

[deickemeyer · 4 March 2017]

The producer of this picture, Colin Campbell, with the good help of his leading lady, has told its prettily and in a poetic atmosphere. It was taken on the Pacific Coast and is a simple love story of a fisherman's daughter (Bessie Eyton) who goes away to college and is educated above her girlhood's sweetheart, the fisherlad (Thomas Santscbi). He rescues her new lover from drowning. The picture is excellent entertainment more on account of its style than of its story. Many of the views are lovely and the story, though not very new, is told with that economy of attention that keeps it from dragging. Lanier Bartlett is the author. Hobart Bosworth, Herhert Rawlinson, Frank Richardson, Anna Dodge, Betty Harte also have good parts. - The Moving Picture World, November 9, 1912
