What happens
Soldiers of Fortune is a lost 1919 American silent drama film directed by Allan Dwan and starring Wallace Beery. The film is based on the 1897 novel of the same name by Richard Harding Davis. It was produced by the Mayflower Photoplay Company. Richard Harding Davis's novel that inspired the film had already been brought to the screen in 1914 by William F. Haddock; that version of Soldiers of Fortune starred Dustin Farnum. The subject of both the 1914 and 1919 films is based on the Spanish–American War. The 1919 film was shot on the San Diego Fairgrounds at Balboa Park in San Diego, California. Distributed by Realart Pictures, the film was released in American theaters on November 22, 1919.
