Doug's full-moon face and double chin made him a long shot for movie swoondom; and in closeup his stage-bred gestures looked like cheerleader antics. All he had was it--the gorgeous muscularity and infectious brio that made folks want to pay to see more. His exuberance turned out to be the key to a genre Doug virtually created: the adventure comedy. "Pictures were made for him," said Allan Dwan, director of 11 Fairbanks films.

As the title song, by Gary Nicholson, tells us: "It has ruined the taste of the sweetest lies,/Burned through my best alibis." The way Loveless sings it, the truth ain't pretty, but it sounds as golden as the Gospel...
