Love and Fortune Trailer (1908)

"WE MUST BE CAREFUL WHAT WE WISH FOR, BECAUSE WE MIGHT GET IT" 01 January 1908 9 mins

Created by the young but obviously ambitious French production company Lux Film, founded just two years before by pioneer Henri Joly. The film was released in the United States with the title Love and Fortune, in a version which sought to mellow the character of the male protagonist, at least judging by the synopses in the period press: the American Ascanio was always in love with Graziella, and he only lets himself think of wealth in his dreams.
