Reggie Mixes In, also known as Facing the Music,[1][2] is a 1916 American silent action/comedy-drama film starring Douglas Fairbanks and directed by Christy Cabanne.[3] The film was produced by Fine Arts Film Company and distributed by Triangle Film Corporation.[4] The film is extant and in the public domain.[4]
Wealthy Reggie Morton (Fairbanks) falls in love with Agnes Shannon (Love), a dancer on the Bowery, and takes a job as a bouncer to be near her. His rival is Tony Bernard (Lowery), the leader of a gang, whose henchmen attack Reggie. Reggie fights them off, and then fights the gang leader in an empty warehouse to determine the winner of Agnes's love.[5][6][7]
The working title for the film was The Bouncer. The film was predominantly made in a studio,[8] although some scenes were filmed in Newport in Orange County in 1916.[9]
Douglas Fairbanks received positive reviews for his performance, while Bessie Love's reviews were mixed.[10][11]
Miss Love has some skill to commend her as a movie actress, but she should learn that panting in a close-up doesn't resemble deep emotion.
