Bud's Recruit
1918 ยท 26 mins
This WWI home-front comedy is the earliest surviving film of King Vidor, who would later go on to make such classics as The Big Parade and The Crowd. A two-reeler, it's a propaganda comedy involving a little boy who can't wait to go fight against the Kaiser, and who sets an unrelentingly patriotic (and militaristic) example for his draft-age, feminized brother and peace-lovin' mother.
Director: King Vidor
Cast: Wallace Brennan, Robert Gordon, Ruth Hampton, Thomas Bellamy, Ernest Butterworth Jr.
