[Accessory Reel] A Romance of the Redwoods (1917): Sips, Schemers & Silent Scandals

In this Accessory Reel bonus companion track, Tata and Mamie take a sentimental stroll into the silent shadows of A Romance of the Redwoods (1917), all while sipping Mission Angelica—the California classic as golden and sweet as Mary Pickford’s curls.

As the organ swells and the intertitles flutter, our duo dishes hot takes on shady strangers, frontier flirtations, and the delicate art of surviving a gold rush town with your virtue (and maybe your valuables) intact. With every sip, they decode vintage expressions, overanalyze meaningful glances, and speculate wildly about the drama—both onscreen and off.

So grab your glass of Mission Angelica and prepare to fall headfirst into a tale of danger, desire, and crime—all lovingly accessorized by Tata and Mamie’s signature sass. Because even in a silent film, accessories—and commentary—speak volumes.
