Review of Downhill (1927) by Ken S — 02 Sep 2014
Two young college boys get caught up in a scandal when a young girl gets pregnant...she accuses one of being the father, and is expelled...while the real father of the child remains in school as a captain of the rugby team and keeping his scholarship and the pride of his father.
If I were the guy accused I wouldn't have kept silent to let some other loser keep his daddy's approval. Then it sends the accused's life into a spiral of losing his father's approval, money run dry by a bad marriage, and becoming a gigolo.
It is a solid drama, certainly better than Hitchcock's "The Ring", but not that much better. It definitely has a better style and is well told...I'll give it that much.
