"Fortune Seekers" is a delightful short film that pays tribute to the American inventor. As directed by Larry O'Reilly and based on the material written by Frances Dinsmoor, we are given a tour of how a person faced with a challenge raises to meet it and find a viable solution for the problem.
The film concentrates on what appears to be an average man who has a problem opening a jar. He finally comes up with a device that opens it without effort. His wife seems to be delighted by the new discovery, until she puts the gizmo up to the actual test. What worked for him, doesn't work for her! This is an enjoyable short subject film.
