The Knickerbocker Buckaroo is a 1919 silent Western directed by Albert Parker and starring Douglas Fairbanks, who also wrote and produced the film. Fairbanks plays a hedonistic New York City aristocrat who tries to change his selfish ways by heading to Sonora, Texas to carry out a campaign of altruism. Along the way, he is mistaken for a Mexican bandit and is pursued by a corrupt sheriff who is in pursuit of the bandit's hidden fortune.[1] [2]
The Knickerbocker Buckaroo was Fairbanks' last film under his contract with Paramount Pictures. After this production, he worked exclusively at United Artists, a company he co-founded in 1919 with Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin and D.W. Griffith.[3]
No print of The Knickerbocker Buckaroo is known to exist in any archive or private collection, and it is believed to be a lost film.[4]
