What happens
Soldiers of Fortune è un film muto del 1914 diretto da William F. Haddock (alcune fonti accreditano come regista Augustus Thomas e Haddock come suo assistente). Fu l'esordio sullo schermo di Dustin Farnum, attore che, di lì a poco, sarebbe diventato una star con il suo secondo film, The Squaw Man di Cecil B. DeMille. Gli altri interpreti erano John St. Polis, Jack Pratt, Helen Lutrell, Winthrop Chamberlain. Il soggetto, basato sulla guerra ispano-americana, è tratto dall'omonimo romanzo del 1897 di Richard Harding Davis e dall'omonimo lavoro teatrale di Augustus Thomas, andato in scena in prima al Savoy Theatre di New York il 17 marzo 1902. Il film venne rifatto nel 1919 con Soldiers of Fortune diretto da Allan Dwan e interpretato da Wallace Beery e Norman Kerry. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
