Fortune Favors the Brave ( French: Le Génie des cloches ou le Fils du sonneur, literally "The Genie of the Bells, or the Bellringer's Son") was a 1908 French silent fantasy film directed by Georges Méliès.
A young boy's adventure takes him to the domain of the Genie of the Cathedral Bell, where he finds a fortune to enrich his family. [1]
A surviving production still reveals that Méliès appears in the film as a gnome; his son, André Méliès, plays the young boy. [2]
The film was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 1394–1407 in its catalogues. [2]
The New York Mirror gave the film a brief review after its American release in December 1909, saying that it "will please the children, who will not be too critical of the stage management." [1]
The film is currently presumed lost. [2]
