Rudolph's Revenge
1928
Comedy

Synopsis
Prolific comic strip artist C.W. Kahles' most famous creation, Hairbreadth Harry, is top-billed in this two-reeler (which was the last in a short screen spinoff series from the Weiss Brothers' studio). Spoofing archaic stage melodramas, it finds handsome Harry (Earl McCarthy) as always protecting the honor of Beautiful Belinda (Wanda Sibbald) from rival suitor Relentless Rudolph (James Aubrey, who had his own Weiss series at the time). The late silent comedy has some elements that wouldn't be permissible once the Production Code kicked in a few years later, such as the intertitle that questions whether Belinda's honor requires protecting: seems she's already "the kind of girl who goes out to buy a hat and comes home with a sailor." - Dennis Harvey
