Pine-Thomas Productions, the producers of Mr. Reckless, was a small filmmaking company that was able to produce classic and popular movies on shoestring budgets. They were so successful with so little that they were quickly snatched up by Paramount and made into an auxiliary studio, where their skill at creating entertaining films would continue. Here in Mr. Reckless, the streak continues with a fun and goofy daredevil adventure. Mr. Reckless is played by William Eythe, a hardworking oil digger whose girl gets stolen while he’s off on the job. When he returns home to find her with an older man, he decides to pull off a series of stunts at the oil field to win her back! Boisterously ridiculous, Mr. Reckless lives up to its name as Eythe tempts death in wonderfully creative scenes.
