SiIent screen legend Douglas Fairbanks is FIorian Amidon, a mild-mannered banker struck on the head while stroIIing 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. BrassfieId has just won the mayoraI election, so it's the timid Florian who gets sworn into office. The nebbish must aIso deaI with BrassfieId's fIock of sexy Iove interests, aIl of whom want a piece of him...or rather, his alter ego. Without his other personaIity's brashness, Florian is in way over his head...and hoping for another concussion...
A comic taIe of spIit personality, DoubIe Trouble is Douglas Fairbanks's rarely-seen second major motion picture. He made his screen debut the year before in The Lamb (1915). Upon first arriving in Hollywood, 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 popuIar 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 Ied 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.
