Curiozități

The Orphan is a 1920 silent Western film directed by J. Gordon Edwards and starred William Farnum, Louise Lovely, Henry Herbert, and G. Raymond Nye. The film was produced by William Fox and distributed by Fox Film.

Production

The film adapts the 1908 Hopalong Cassidy novel of the same name by Clarence E. Mulford and plans for the film were announced as early as August 1919. William Farnum was brought on to portray the titular orphan and he starred alongside Louise Lovely, a frequent co-star. The film also starred Francis Carpenter, who portrayed a younger version of Farnum's character. The Orphan marked the thirtieth of many films Farnum made with William Fox.

Filming took place in Palm Springs, California and The Akron Beacon Journal noted that a buzzard began circling overhead during the gun duel scene between Farnam and Willard. It landed after Nichols feigned being shot, but flew away after it realized that the actor was still alive.
