Despite a long-lasting friendship by letter, JM Barrie & Robert Louis Stevenson never met, & Barrie never got to go to Samoa:
“Vailima was the one spot on earth I had any great craving to visit… I shall never go up the Road of Loving Hearts now, on ‘a wonderful clear night of stars,’ to meet the man coming toward me on a horse.”

Male and Female (1919), Cecil B. DeMille's take on J.M. Barrie's The Admirable Crichton. It made teenaged Gloria Swanson a star. A shipwrecked aristocratic family needs their butler to save them.
Sophisticated comedy, a fine romantic melodrama and an effective satire. And it’s visually arresting. Great movie.
