The Tiger Man (1918): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1918, The Tiger Man is a western film directed by William S. Hart, running about 63 minutes.

What it’s about. Outlaw Hawk Parsons, notoriously successful in his pursuits, has been caught by the local sherif of a New Mexico town in the 1850s. The overly prideful sherif and his lawmen are outsmarted and Parsons escapes. In the desert, he falls in with a reverend, his wife, and their group of missionaries, who hope to establish a church. After coming under attack by a tribe of Native Americans, Parsons strikes a deal: in exchange for the safe keeping of the missionaries, he takes the reverend's wife for himself. Ultimately a parable of Christian values, the film's narrative establishes and overcomes obstacles that test the virtue of men in the American West.

Who’s in it. The Tiger Man stars William S. Hart as Hawk Parsons, Jane Novak as Ruth Ingram, Milton Ross as Connor Moore and Robert Lawrence as Reverend Luke Ingram, among others.
