I finally broke down and had to find out WTF is up with the giant cowboy hats in #SilentFilm westerns. Turns out it’s not a joke. The hats were really oversized like that😱

This restoration is not based on an original print from 1916 because as far as anyone can tell there are no surviving prints of the original release of “The Good Bad Man” (1916). This restoration was made using a print from a 1923 re-release of the film that occurred when the Mutual and Triangle Film companies were liquidated.

“3 Bad Men” (1926) would be John Ford’s final #SilentFilm western of the silent era. He wouldn’t direct another western until over a decade later with “Stagecoach” (1939)

“3 Bad Men”(1926) is considered an influence on Japanese director Akira Kurosawa’s “Three Bad Men in a Hidden Fortress”(1958)🇯🇵which in turn inspired George Lucas’s “Star Wars” series
