A Regular Fellow

Dalion Pemberton discovers that in order to inherit his grandfather's estate, he must marry Virginia Christy--a complete stranger. Dalion, who doesn't particularly trust or even like women, decides to forgo his grandfather's fortune rather than marry a woman he doesn't know. However, while on a trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina, he spots a beautiful woman and immediately falls for her. When he discovers that she is sailing to New York City, he stows away on the ship so he can follow her. Things don't turn out quite the way he planned.

Directed by Christy Cabanne, A Regular Fellow leans on a strong ensemble — Taylor Holmes, Millicent Fisher, Edna Phillips — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1919.
