Peter Pan Movie Review 1924

The first film adaptation of James M. Barrie's children's classic stars Bronson as the title character (in a performance endorsed by Barrie himself) that of an adventurous boy who refuses to grow up. Torrence is a scene-stealer as Captain Hook. A little on the stagy side but it still shines.
