- Quotes
Archie: Oh, by Jove, glad you mentioned it, old boy. She wrote and asked me down on Saturday. Said, eh, said she was having some friends for the week-end.
Tom Ingleside: Yes?
Archie: Eh, oh, eh, oh, eh, look here, dear old boy, I, I, I shouldn't have told you that. Eh, this puts me up the pole, most frightfully.
Tom Ingleside: How's that?
Archie: Eh, your mother said it was to be a surprise.
Tom Ingleside: Well, that's alright. I won't let you down. I'll be surprised.
Archie: That's awful descent of you, old boy. Awfully! Well, I must be toddling. See you on Saturday! Toodle-loo.

This is a very dated film done in that weird time that was the transition between silent and sound. This makes the dialogue pacing off and the film seem mannered and stagy. It's by no means a heavy look at war as some of the films made around the same time were, but rather focuses on the brothers' relationship and their mutual love for one woman. Fairbanks Jr. emerges as the best actor, giving a solid performance. Hobart is very serious and kind of boring, and Bushell is good-looking but callow. It's all very stiff upper lip and pip-pip.
"Chances" is a dark-looking film with some well-done battle scenes. One interesting bit of trivia about the cast is that all three leads lived to be 90 and above. One wonders if in later years, they even remembered this early effort.
