Better Late Then Never

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

A melodramatic picture with a situation that the Biograph Company has made use of a great many times, but nearly always with freshness and nearly always effectively, as in the present case. It is a situation where there is money in the house and only a girl to protect it, and the bad man attempts to force her to disclose its hiding place. As usual there are rescuers on the way, and it also includes a speedy Biograph chase. The photography is clear. - The Moving Picture World, September 6, 1913
