Her First False Hare

About This Movie

Her First False Hare is an intriguing slice of 1919 cinema that captures a whimsical yet somewhat absurd atmosphere. Picture this: four gents out hunting, the serenity of the woods punctuated by their antics, and then they meet a captivating young woman. The premise is charmingly simple yet cleverly executed; her challenge to the men creates a palpable tension and a sense of competition that runs through the film. The performances, though perhaps not finely honed, have a certain rawness that adds to the film's unique character. And you can’t help but appreciate the practical effects – or lack thereof – that lend an oddly endearing quality to this early silent picture. It’s the kind of film that makes you ponder the themes of desire and ambition in a light-hearted way.

Her First False Hare is relatively scarce in the collector's market, often turning up in niche auctions or specialized silent film collections. Given its uncertain director and genre classification, it tends to intrigue collectors who appreciate the quirky, less mainstream offerings of early cinema. Many prints are in rough shape, which adds to the allure for those interested in the preservation of silent film history.
