Biographical Notes
Für Eric Campbell, den unvergessenen Wüterich vieler Chaplin-Streifen, war The Adventurer der letzte Film seines Lebens. Am 20. Dezember 1917 fuhr der erst 37 Jahre alte gebürtige Schotte mit zwei jungen Frauen und einer Geschwindigkeit von über 100 km/h den Wilshire Boulevard entlang, als er an einer Kreuzung mit einem anderen Fahrzeug zusammenstieß. Campbell war sofort tot.
