'Action' is a 1921 American silent Western film directed by John Ford and featuring Hoot Gibson. It was based on Peter B. Kyne's popular novel 'The Three Godfathers'. The film is considered to be lost. According to contemporaneous newspaper reports, 'Action' was based on J. Allan Dunn's novel, 'The Mascotte of the Three Star'; 'Mascotte' appeared as the lead novel in the pulp magazine 'Short Stories', February 1921.See, for example, the 'San Francisco Chronicle', September 4, 1921. This reference also contradicts the presumed release date of September 12, since it advertises the film as opening on September 4.
