Fisher Folks

Pretty sure this must have been a quota filler from Griffith as its story is so basic that it barely seems worth putting up there on the screen. At least Linda Arvidson puts in a nicely understated performance in a rare leading role.

A love story told of the fisher folks in a picturesque village near the sea. It is the tale of a love that is born of coquetry and the love that is born of a true heart, and clearly points out the difference between them. The coquette loses, though there are lapses on the part of the man that almost break the heart of his wife. The ending of the story is pleasant, showing the little family united and free from the machinations of the flirt. It is one of those domestic stories, filled with dramatic interest, because it depicts what actually occurs in human hearts. The setting is picturesque and affords numerous glimpses of an interesting fishing village. - The Moving Picture World, March 4, 1911
