Opportunity (1918) directed by John H. Collins is a quirky comedy that plays with the conventions of gender and identity in a playful way. The pacing is brisk, and the atmosphere feels light yet filled with tension as misunderstandings spiral out of control. Mary’s antics, disguised in her brother's clothes, lead to a series of comedic mishaps that not only threaten her family dynamics but also flirt with the law. The performances carry a charming earnestness, particularly in how they navigate the absurdity of the situations. It’s not just about the laughs but also reflects on societal norms of the time, making it a curious slice of early cinema that feels distinctly relevant, even now.
