The Street of Adventure (film)

The Street of Adventure is a 1921 British silent drama film directed by Kenneth Webb and starring Lionelle Howard, Margot Drake, and Cecil Humphreys. It is based on the 1909 novel The Street of Adventure by Philip Gibbs, which offers a fictionalized account of Gibbs's experiences working as a journalist in Fleet Street, London. The film depicts the competitive and often cutthroat world of newspaper journalism, focusing on the struggles and ethics involved in reporting news stories. While not a widely remembered film today, it provides a historical glimpse into the early days of cinematic adaptations of popular novels and reflects the public's fascination with the inner workings of the press in the early 20th century. Its availability is currently uncertain, and critical reception from the time is sparsely documented.
