Fultah Fisher's Boarding House is a 1922 American silent film short and the first film directed by Frank Capra.[1] Based on a poem by Rudyard Kipling, the film is about a prostitute living at a boarding house who provokes a fight that leads to the death of a sailor.[2]
Fultah Fisher operates a boarding house serving seamen passing through the port. A local woman known as Anne of Austria has had relationships with several sailors and is currently involved with Salem Hardieker, a Bostonian. When Anne becomes interested in a new arrival, Hans, he rejects her, aware of her association with Salem.
