  • Plot: Herr Al Christie was a prolific film director who made a lot of trifling short comedies during the early silent times for the ephemeral glory of ordinary actors who starred in the majority of those productions, namely the comedy team Eddie Lyons & Lee Moran and Dame Betty Compson who is the lustreless star of "As Luck Would Have It". For these reasons, this German aristocrat could say that Herr Al Christie was a kind of early and significant pioneer director of silent B pictures."As Luck Would Have It" is a good example of Herr Al Christie typical films: simple history, poor performances and scarce technical improvements although in this case the film includes some outer shots of racing cars for the joy of the longhaired audience.The plot besides being simplistic and humourless is ordinary for this German Count; in order to be in fashion, Dame Compson wants to be a nurse during the old WWI times; not to mention that she also wants her husband to be an ambulance driver too or something like that ( besides ordinary, Dame Compson's character is a little dim too) so it would be better that he starts to begin training as a race car driver.The Dame Compson's character stupidity leads her to believe, and she proclaims this without shame, that maybe thanks to her husband's merits "they will make him a Duke or something'"? MEIN GOTT!!... so easy she thinks that it is to achieve a title of nobility even in Amerika??!!!.. if perhaps he was driving an elegant Hispano-Suizo but an ordinary race car??...It is evident that this film is disrespectful to the aristocracy, not to mention its boldness to laugh at WWI in such ordinary way, enough demerits for this German Count to call for an urgent meeting to begin legal or illegal procedures to arrest this director wherever he is.And now, if you'll allow me, I must temporarily take my leave because this German Count must discuss with his advocates their nonexistent wages.Herr Graf Ferdinand Von Galitzien http://ferdinandvongalitzien.blogspot.com/
