The Branding Iron

A rancher grips a frightened woman's arms.

What

A 1920 American one-sheet for The Branding Iron, a silent drama distributed by Goldwyn Pictures and printed by the Joseph H. Tooker Litho Co.

Why

Reginald Barker directed it, a nude scene with Barbara Castleton was cut in parts of the country, and Pennsylvania banned the film outright.

Notice

The title is set in tall white condensed capitals, with Goldwyn's name in script at the foot.

“A rancher's rule, a wife's fear”
