Scholarly Significance
-
This longevity of the film has meant it being screened two years after release and around the world in Australia. It shows the worldwide stardom of Douglas Fairbanks.
Fairbanks did indeed have an influence in the making of 'Mollycoddle', he actually was producer, star, screenwriter and part owner of the distribution company United Artists. His Hollywood influence was great and this could be seen through his worldwide fame and acclaim.
He represents a clear American identity of a capitalist who is a private owner making profit in the countries media system.
