Partners in Crime

About This Movie

So, 'Partners in Crime' from 1928 is this odd blend of action, adventure, and comedy that's kind of reflective of its time. Richard Deming, once an Assistant DA, gets himself tangled in this mess after he's mistaken for a criminal. It has this playful yet tense tone, thanks to the pacing that really keeps you on your toes. The practical effects have that charming old-school vibe, and the performances feel genuine, especially the chemistry between Deming and Marie. It’s not just about the caper but also touches on themes of innocence and the struggle for justice amidst chaos. It's a quirky watch, for sure, with that silent film era charm.

This film's availability is pretty limited; it only pops up on a few niche collector lists and is often overshadowed by more famous silent films. You might find it on specialty releases or collector's editions, but even those can be hard to track down. Interest in silent films has seen a resurgence, so this title might pique the curiosity of collectors looking for something off the beaten path.
