Wildfire (1915 film)
1915 American film
Wildfire is a 1915 silent drama film produced by the Shuberts and distributed by World Pictures. It is based on the 1908 Broadway play Wildfire by George V. Hobart and George Broadhurst.[1] The play had starred the famous Lillian Russell,[2] who, in a rare screen appearance, reprised her role here. It was remade in 1925 with Aileen Pringle. Surviving prints are missing the third reel and the ending.[3] Prints and/or fragments were found in the Dawson Film Find in 1978.
According to the American Film Institute catalog, this film was shot at the Peerless Studios.[4][5] About 30% of the scenes were filmed in Charleston, South Carolina and at the nearly Palmetto Park race course.[6][7]
