Flirting with Fate (1916)

Triangle Distributing
Directed by Christy Cabanne
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Flicker Alley)

Douglas Fairbanks is a starving artist who falls in love with a high society girl. He fakes his way into a party with the help of a friend, and she falls for him as well. However, when he is caught practicing his proposal to her with her best friend, she rejects him. Despondent, he hires a hit man to kill himself. Typical nutty Fairbanks comedy, but lacks the edge of some of his other material.
