Reaching for the Moon (1930)
Wall Street-tovenaar Larry Day wordt vergezeld door zijn bediende in een poging zijn geluk in de liefde te beproeven. De knappe man achtervolgt Vivian Benton op een luxe oceaanstomer, waar cocktails en liefdessensaties geen einde hebben, en de magie tussen de twee feilloos werkt. Tot het moment waarop Larry ziet hoe het geluk op de beurs hem, en daarmee het succes in de liefde, begint te verdampen. De film is gebaseerd op de musical van Irving Berlin en presenteert een van de weinige gevallen van vandaag waarin we de stem kunnen horen van Douglas Fairbanks, die weigerde te acteren in geluidsfilms en een van de iconen van de stomme cinema bleef.
