Trivia

In an unprecedented move for its day in 1915, Biograph Company executives hired actor Bert Williams to star, produce, direct, and write his own films, having full control, the first time a Black-American ever had such control given by a mainstream movie company. The two films made for Biograph were A Natural Born Gambler and Fish. See more »

In the following scene, as his parents search for him, his father is holding the cap. Afterwards, and for the rest of the film, Bert is bare-headed. See more »
