The Chest of Fortune

1914 · 20 min

A short, earnest old-fashioned drama that shifts from wartime memory to a gentle modern romance, watched more for its charm than its stakes.

Overview: Just when we think that this movie will be about a Southern family in Civil War days, the action jumps to modern-day 1914, still in the southern United States. Handsome Jack (Guy Coombs) is in love with the fair lady played by Marguerite Clayton.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic and romantic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Love, family, memory
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
