THE SPOILERS (1914): Called one of the "50 Great Films'' of the silent era by Joe Franklin, The Spoilers is the original screen version of the famed Western saga written by Rex Beach. It tells the story of Roy Glenister and his partner Dextry, owners of the richest gold mine in Alaska. The corrupt Alex McNamara seeks to rob them of their claim, and uses a woman to sow discord between the two. The film concludes with a knock-down, drag-out fight between Glenister and McNamara, shockingly brutal for 1914 and considered one of the greatest movie fights of all time. It incorporated no on-stage trickery or stuntmen, meaning that William Farnum really broke Tom Stanschi's nose! The Spoilers would be memorably remade in 1942 with John Wayne, Randolph Scott and Marlene Dietrich, but the original silent version remains just as impressive today as it was to audiences in 1914.
