Thou Art the Man (film)
Thou Art the Man is a 1920 American silent drama film produced by Famous Players–Lasky and released through Paramount Pictures. Thomas N. Heffron directed the film which starred stage and matinee idol Robert Warwick and Lois Wilson. It is based on a novel, Myles Calthorpe, I.D.B. by F. E. Mills Young, with a screenplay by Margaret Turnbull. This is considered to be a lost film. Plot
Based upon a description in a film publication, Myles Calthrope (Warwick) is an English soldier of fortune who drifts into the diamond mining fields of South Africa and finds employment with some diamond smugglers who masquerade as feather merchants. When he comes to suspect their true business, Myles is dismissed. He then goes to Cape Town where he falls in love with Joan Farrant (Wilson). She helps him to get a job with her brother, who is also secretly a smuggler. The police arrest Myles in an illicit enterprise of which he has no knowledge, and he goes to prison for three years. Eventually the real criminals are arrested, and Myles finds happiness with Joan. Cast
