19?? - A Woman's Vengeance



Title: A Woman's Vengeance
Release Date: Sometime between 1916-1934
Directed by: Harry Moody
Starring: Fritzi Ridgeway, the girl with a thousand personalities
IMDB: none
My Rating: (5/10) ★★★★★✩✩
✩✩

Basic plot. Woman's father receives a note saying there's a piece of land with gold on it, and to come right away to stake his claim. Father goes, leaving the daughter behind with the brother and the smarmy neighbor. Father trusts the wrong people and gets shot on his journey. Daughter, who also happens to be an experienced gun slinger, vows revenge. Fritzi Ridgeway does a great job, though the film moves slow in some parts.  She even does some pretty incredible stunts including taking a six foot plunge (at least), face first down a mountain. You go girl!

I was able to find very little written about this movie, which means I'm having to speculate most things. According to her wiki page, Fritzi worked between 1916-1934, so I can narrow the film down to that 18 years. She looks pretty young and fresh, so I'd venture to say it was filmed pre-1920. The title card says it was directed by Harry Moody, though his imdb page doesn't claim it.
