LOST MEDIA: Charmed, I'm Sure (1909)

Charmed, I'm Sure is a 1909 silent comedy film that was doomed from the beginning. The director, Charles K. French, had to hire a quick unknown cast because of the original cast walked out on the first day due to a dispute over salaries. The ones hired were the technical crew that never acted in other films. Then two days before completing a fire destroyed the film negatives and so the film was abandoned. The film's considered lost and the only thing that remains is the partial script that turned up at a LA auction house.

PLOT:

Daniel falls in love at first sight with Jane, a bank teller. During a bank robbery, Daniel takes Jane Hostage and comedic antics ensue as the robber tries to win her heart, and escape the building surrounded by police.
