Ham warning !
Not having seen the movie for several years it was a nasty shock to be reminded of John Marston's playing of Helstrom.
He clearly subscribed to the John Barrymore School of Ham Overacting.
The clenched teeth, the darting eyes, the head thrown back for emphasis totally unbalanced the tenor of the movie. Even the stereotype Chinese cook gave a better performance.
To make up for that, Helen Mack was pretty hot !!
Come on lads, bags of swank!
