About Jack Spurlock, Prodigal
George Walsh plays the "prodigal" hero in this fast-moving star vehicle from the Fox factory. An incurable cut-up, Jack Spurlock throws a college campus in an uproar when he shows up the first day of classes with his pet bear. Needless to say, Jack is immediately booted out of college, infuriating his big-businessman father (Dan Mason).
Directed by Carl Harbaugh, Jack Spurlock, Prodigal leans on a strong ensemble — George Walsh, Dan Mason, Ruth Taylor — 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 1918.
