Trivia
This was the last time that Mary Pickford, 34 at the time, would portray a child.

Errores
Near the beginning when Mr. Grimes is outside the fence going through the items in the package he is delivering, he pockets the cash he finds, then reads the note pinned on the doll: "Love to my/sweet baby from/Her Mama", which is written on three lines. After the cut from the closeup on the note, Grimes is shown crushing the doll. However, the note is different; though the words are the same, they are now written on four lines: "Love to my/sweet baby/from/Her Mama."

Citas
Molly: Let him in, you red-headed, pussy-footin' catfish!

Classic Pickford

Sparrows (1926)

*** (out of 4)

An evil man, his wife and son are stealing orphans and taking them into the deep swampland where the children are treated as slaves. The latest kid they've kidnapped turns out to be the child of a rich man. Fearing the police, the family plans to kill the kids but the oldest orphan (Mary Pickford) plans a daring escape through the swamp. The villains of this film have to rank as some of the most hated in movie history. Pickford does a wonderful job in her role and director William Beaudine also adds several nice touches. The escape through the swamp is full of suspense as the children must face quicksand as well as alligators. The final act hurts the film but everything leading up to it is very well done. It's interesting to note that Pickford had Beaudine blacklisted in Hollywood because he forced her and the children to risk their lives by acting with real alligators. This here probably explains why a respected director ended up making "B" and "Z" films like Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla.
