About Sweeney's Dream
While many men think they can manage a hotel, a theater, or a newspaper, they are in the minority compared with those low-browed addle-pates who believe they could run the government.
Directed by Charles H. France, Sweeney's Dream leans on a strong ensemble — Lillian Leighton, Joseph Hazelton, Lafe McKee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1913.
