Action is a lost 1921 American silent Western film directed by John Ford and featuring Hoot Gibson. 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.
