Breakers Ahead

Breakers Ahead (1918)

After young Ruth Bowman's mother dies, the child is raised by Agatha Pixley, and in time, the girl falls in love with Agatha's son, Eric. While Eric is at sea with Captain Scudder on a boat owned by Jim and Hiram Hawley, a jealous villager spreads the tale that Ruth is illegitimate, and the townspeople inevitably snub her. Jim Hiram sets his boat on fire after its arrival in port so that he can collect insurance money, and Ruth, believing that Eric is on board, tries to rescue him. When Ruth and Eric escape safely, Captain Scudder reveals that he, Ruth's long-lost father, was legally married to her mother, which re-establishes Ruth's good name and enables her to marry Eric.

흥미로운 사실

Breakers Ahead is a 1918 American silent drama film, directed by Charles Brabin. It stars Viola Dana, Clifford Bruce, and Mabel Van Buren, and was released on March 25, 1918.

Production

It was revealed in mid-January 1918 that production on the film would begin before the end of the month. Viola Dan was picked to star, and Charles J. Bralin to direct. Also announced was that Clifford Bruce and Russell Simpson would have major roles. Charles Brabin and his assistant director, Edward Biby, began pre-production in mid-January by developing the sets and selecting the locations for exterior scenes.

During the location filming at sea, the production was beset with issues deriving from the United States being on a war footing. One incident occurred when the tugboat they had hired to ferry them to and from the seacraft where they were filming was returning at night with all its lights at full blast.
