The nut
Description
Douglas Fairbanks came from Broadway to the movies in 1915 when high salaries were luring well-known stage actors to the new feature-length pictures. Although most of these performers failed to 'register' on camera and returned to New York, Fairbanks quickly became a supernova. His energetic, optimistic character, his ingratiating smile, his graceful, acrobatic stunts (he did his own), clever writing, and accomplished staging rapidly made Fairbanks one of the most admired stars in the world. He produced 4 films for United Artists, including The Nut (1921), directed by Theodore Reed and starring Fairbanks, Marguerite De La Motte, and William Lowery. Fairbanks is an eccentric inventor who, with his girlfriend, is looking for investors.
