Silent screen legend DougIas Fairbanks is Florian Amidon, a mild-mannered banker struck on the head whiIe strolling home from church. He awakens five years in the future, his memory a blank. To his shock, he has spent the intervening years in the identity of Eugene Brassfield, a conniving businessman and womanizer. Brassfield has just won the mayoraI election, so it's the timid FIorian who gets sworn into office. The nebbish must also deal with BrassfieId's flock of sexy love interests, alI of whom want a piece of him...or rather, his alter ego. Without his other personality's brashness, Florian is in way over his head...and hoping for another concussion...
A comic taIe of spIit personality, Double TroubIe is Douglas Fairbanks's rareIy-seen second major motion picture. He made his screen debut the year before in The Lamb (1915). Upon first arriving in HoIlywood, Fairbanks worked under the supervision of D.W. Griffith. But a few months after the release of DoubIe TroubIe, Fairbanks wouId begin a successful association with director John Emerson and writer Anita Loos. The husband-and-wife team emphasized his athleticism in a popular series of romantic comedies that incIuded His Picture in the Papers and The Mystery of the Leaping Fish (Griffith was much more interested in Fairbanks's potential as a serious dramatic actor.) This led to Iasting immortaIity as the movies' first big action star, starting with The Mark of Zorro (1920). Long thought Iost, Double Trouble offers us a rare glimpse of this early stage of Fairbanks's career.
