Adrift in a Great City is a 1914 American silent short drama produced by the Thanhouser Film Corporation that stars Florence LaBadie.

The film begins with Pat Moran who pays for the passage of his wife and daughter to join him in America, but he is seriously injured on the way to greeting them.

Pat Moran, the foreman of a construction gang, worked hard to save up enough money to pay for the passage of his wife and daughter to their new home in America.

The announcement of Bauer's role at Thanhouser came after the release of sixteen films, including Adrift in the Great City, on March 21, 1914.

[1][7] The film had a wide release in the United States with showings in Kansas,[8] Pennsylvania,[9] Maryland,[10] Indiana,[11] North Carolina,[12] Texas,[13] Kentucky,[14] Wisconsin,[15] and Missouri.

The Moving Picture World was negative finding that it was not a strong offering because of the plot and the camerawork having resulted in a cloudy image quality in parts of the production.

The review found that the production was crude, cheap and unconvincing because the set was bare and lacked the presence of onlookers on the city scenes.

[10] The Edisonia in Durham, North Carolina, advertised the film as a strong Thanhouser drama that was "thrilling, pathetic, interesting".
