Masterful Movie
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
An orange grove picture story, taken in Florida. The girl is boss of the grove. A stranger, coming in to see the grove, finds her at work, dressed in overalls. This meeting is followed, a few weeks later, by a love scene set up in a great tree with branches like immense arms. The boss later finds that the man is married. The man's sick wife is neglected; the disillusioned girl, the boss, is also despondent. Each is on the point of drowning herself; but the boss rescues the wife. The girls comfort each other. It is pretty well photographed in interesting backgrounds, but it is slight. A good, romantic filler. - The Moving Picture World, April 13, 1912
