{"product_id":"that-girl-montana-silent","title":"That Girl Montana (Silent)","description":"Cunning criminal Lee Holly forces his innocent young daughter Montana to wear men's clothing and accompany him on stagecoach robberies. When her father is ambushed by one of the many men he's double-crossed, Montana escapes into the wilderness. She is adopted by an Indian tribe, who rename her 'Tana' and teach her how to be \"feminine.\" Dan Overton, a young man who owns a nearby mine, becomes fascinated by this strange white girl in Indian clothing and offers to take her in. Overton's partner, Jim Harris, recognizes 'Tana' as the cross-dressing, stagecoach-robbing daughter of Lee Holly. Tipped off to her location, Holly arrives looking to bring his daughter back home. It is at that moment that Harris makes a shocking revelation that will change the lives of all involved forever...\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on a 1901 novel by Marah Ellis Ryan, \u003ci\u003eThat Girl Montana\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the few extant features starring silent leading lady Blanche Sweet (1896-1986). Ms. Sweet (her real name) was best known for her work with pioneering director D.W. Griffith, ranging from one-reelers like \u003ci\u003eThe Lonedale Operator\u003c\/i\u003e (1911) and \u003ci\u003eA Temporary Truce\u003c\/i\u003e (1912) to later features like \u003ci\u003eThe Avenging Conscience\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJudith of Bethulia\u003c\/i\u003e (both 1914). Blanche was far from the frail, childlike actresses like Lillian Gish and Mae Marsh that Griffith later favored. \"Husky and well-built, she had a determined look about her,\" said Joe Franklin, \"(Griffith) frequently cast her as hardy frontier women.\" Perhaps that's why she was chosen to star in this adaptation of Ryan's Western melodrama, produced by the independent Jesse D. Hampton studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBONUS: \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLazy Lem\u003c\/i\u003e (1920):\u003c\/b\u003e Milburn Morante plays a naive Western yokel who heads to Hollywood to try to sell some screenplays in this rare comedy two-reeler.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45802779082902,"sku":"089218843098","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218843098.jpg?v=1762203687","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/that-girl-montana-silent","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
