The Road to Yesterday (1925)

Romance
Year: 1925
Year in film: 1920, earlier
Country: USA
Who in bibs: boys ~9 yo
Available on DVD: yes
I own: no
Bib occurrence: very low
Rating:  3/10
Rating: ***
Comment: At least 3 boys outside a camp in bibs at 6 minutes. A brief fighting scene. Starring Frank Coughlan Jr. (not in bibs, pic 1 on right) and an uncredited boy in bibs with overlapping straps fighting with him.

Please make sure to watch the full version (1h44/1h45 minutes like on archive.org) otherwise you just see the very brief rear view (pic 2). The DVD is also abridged. Not sure about other DVDs and their image quality. Probably poor as well.

Long time ago, I found a publicity still (good quality) on an Our Gang board.

I like classics but poor image quality and few and brief scenes.

So rating ~3 only. Update 1/2024: I found an upload in much better quality.
