The power of concentration; to materially manifest that which is cognitive in nature. To realise one's desires, to dream, to fantasise. But sometimes it is just best to work hard at the button factory and move to Jersey. How was this not remade in the 1950s as a vehicle for Danny Kaye to do his thing?! I can also imagine Woody Allen making a version of this film in the 1970s.

Douglas Fairbanks dreams of reaching the moon and becomes royalty of Vulgaria! And there he has to always watch over his shoulder and watch what he eats because politics don't want him to stay alive. Not sure how he really felt about staying alive after meeting his ugly princess fiancé. But Fairbanks Sr. knows how to fight off interference and create fun action like no other! And Reaching for the Moon is no different. Typical Fairbanks film filled with comedy, action, love of life and romance.
