Action is a 1921 Western film directed by John Ford and featuring Hoot Gibson. It was based on Peter B. Kyne's popular novel The Three Godfathers. The film is considered to be lost.[1] According to contemporaneous newspaper reports, Action was based on J. Allan Dunn's novel, The Mascotte of the Three Star; Mascotte appeared as the lead novel in the pulp magazine Short Stories, February 1921.[2]
↑See, for example, the San Francisco Chronicle, September 4, 1921. This reference also contradicts the presumed release date of September 12, since it advertises the film as opening on September 4.
