  • Born Reckless (1930) is an American crime comedy
    directed by Andrew Bennison and John Ford,
    from a screenplay written by Donald Henderson Clarke
    based on his novel Louis Beretti.
    The film starred Edmund Lowe and Catherine Dale Owen.


    All in all a pretty dire film,
    of which the quote below sums up.


    John Ford cast the ever maturing actor Ward Bond,
    in a billed role on this one.
    Although Ford was keeping a 'watchfull eye' on Duke,
    it was Bond who was initially in the forefront.
    At this time Duke and Ward's friendship,
    was forever blossoming.
    Jack Pennick, Randolph Scott and Marguerite Churchill,
    are three of Duke's 'Pals' to be in this one
