About This Movie

Chasing the Moon is a curious piece from 1922, directed by Edward Sedgwick. It feels like a delightful mash-up of action and comedy, with Tom Mix stepping out of his western boots and into something a bit more modern. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, which actually contributes to its charm. The central theme of paranoia and the absurdity of thinking one has been poisoned adds a layer of dark humor. The practical effects are surprisingly inventive for the era, showcasing a creative approach to storytelling. Mix's performance is as lively as ever, blending physical comedy with a touch of seriousness that keeps you engaged. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the cinematic experimentation of the 1920s.
