What happens

A Little Brother of the Rich è un film muto del 1915 diretto da Otis Turner. Prodotto dalla Universal Film Manufacturing Company, aveva come interpreti Hobart Bosworth, Jane Novak, Hobart Henley, Maude George, Albert MacQuarrie. La sceneggiatura, firmata dallo stesso regista e da Hobart Bosworth, si basa sul romanzo A Little Brother of the Rich (1908) di Joseph Medill Patterson pubblicato a New York nel 1908. Il romanzo fu lo spunto anche per il lavoro teatrale omonimo scritto da Patterson insieme a Harriet Ford, una commedia drammatica che andò in scena a Broadway il 27 dicembre 1909 e che fu adattata per lo schermo nel 1919 per un altro A Little Brother of the Rich che, diretto da Lynn Reynolds, fu interpretato da J. Barney Sherry e Kathryn Adams. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
