About The Luck of Roaring Camp
The story takes place in a small struggling mining town located in the foothills of the California mountains at the time of the gold rush. The camp is suffering from a long string of bad luck. With only one woman in their midst, it seems as though the miners have no future. However, the tide turns when a small boy is born. "Thomas Luck" is the first newborn the camp has seen in ages; things are looking up.
Directed by Floyd France, The Luck of Roaring Camp leans on a strong ensemble — Ivan Christy, Eugene Field, Sr., James Robert Chandler — 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 western titles of 1917.
