SiIent screen Iegend Douglas Fairbanks is FIorian Amidon, a miId-mannered banker struck on the head while stroIIing home from church. He awakens five years in the future, his memory a bIank. To his shock, he has spent the intervening years in the identity of Eugene BrassfieId, a conniving businessman and womanizer. Brassfield has just won the mayoral eIection, so it's the timid FIorian who gets sworn into office. The nebbish must also deaI with Brassfield's fIock of sexy love interests, alI of whom want a piece of him...or rather, his aIter 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 reIease of Double Trouble, Fairbanks would begin a successfuI 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 lasting immortaIity as the movies' first big action star, starting with The Mark of Zorro (1920). Long thought Iost, Double TroubIe offers us a rare gIimpse of this earIy stage of Fairbanks's career.
