The Coming of Amos - 1925 - Rod LaRocque, Jetta Goudal

Yippy ti yi yo get along little - Kanga? This 1925 silent film starts out with Rod LaRocque chasing a kangaroo.


Rod LaRocque plays an Australian rancher, named Amos, who visits his uncle in the French Riviera to fulfill a promise to his dead mother. There, he meets Nadia, an exiled Russian Princess, played by Jetta Goudal.

I would not rate "The Coming of Amos" as a really great movie, however, when was the last time you saw a film with a cowboy chasing a kangaroo, an exiled Russian Princess, a villain and a castle all in the same film. Ya gotta love it!
