Blue Blood (1925 film)
Blue Blood is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Scott Dunlap and starring George Walsh, Philo McCullough, and Marguerite Snow. The film is based on a story by Charles Logue.
The plot revolves around Billy Harlan (played by George Walsh), a young man from a wealthy and socially prominent family ("blue blood") who is wrongly accused of a crime. He goes on the run to clear his name and prove his innocence. The film explores themes of social class, justice, and redemption. Philo McCullough plays the villain, adding conflict and intrigue to the narrative. Marguerite Snow portrays the female lead, likely playing a love interest who aids Billy in his quest for exoneration. The film was released by Fox Film Corporation.
As a silent film, Blue Blood relied heavily on visual storytelling, intertitles, and the actors' performances to convey the narrative to the audience. Its commercial success and critical reception are not well-documented in contemporary sources readily available. However, as a Fox Film Corporation production starring a prominent actor like George Walsh, it likely reached a significant audience in its time.
