About Counterfeit
In order to secretly replenish the family's failing fortunes, Virginia Griswold secures a position in the Secret Service to apprehend a group of counterfeiters and gain the reward money.
Directed by George Fitzmaurice, Counterfeit leans on a strong ensemble — Elsie Ferguson, David Powell, Helen Montrose — 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 drama titles of 1919.
