The Half-Breed (1916 film)


The Half-Breed is a 1916 film directed by Allan Dwan. It stars Douglas Fairbanks as Lo Dorman a man competing for the love of the local preacher's daughter with the local sheriff. The audience, however, knows that Sheriff Dunn is actually Lo's father.
Monica Nolan has suggested that the film follows the "common strategy of exposing racism and then evading a real confrontation with its consequences" by arranging for Lo to meet a more worthy love interest, Teresa, "who, as both a Mexican and an outlaw, is his social equal."
The film was shot at in Sequoia National Park and near Santa Cruz, California.
