Mr. Fix-It

Silent movies are not above having ridiculous plots, including ones that include mistaken identity.  In “Mr. Fix-It,” directed in 1918 by Allan Dwan, Douglas Fairbanks agrees to impersonate his Oxford University friend to his family.  The friend, who hasn’t seen his relatives for 15 years,  hopes the charming Fairbanks can soften up his rich but stuffy family so they will accept his new London fiance.  Fairbanks arrives at the family estate and manages to upend all the family traditions and habits.
