The Brave Hunter poster

Released in 1912, The Brave Hunter is a notable film directed by Mack Sennett, running about 8 minutes.

What it’s about. Here it is nice to see Sennett playing a different character than his usual hillbilly lover. Sennett looks quite dashing as the big game hunter. He's quite comically cowardly when the real big game shows up. Mabel is so calm and natural with the bear that she appears like a goddess or other worldly creature. She acts as if she's doing the scene with a cat or dog.

Who’s in it. The Brave Hunter stars Mack Sennett as The Brave Hunter, Dell Henderson as The Brave Hunter's Rival and Mabel Normand as The Woman.

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.4/10, The Brave Hunter has proved divisive with audiences.
