Chances is a 1931 American pre-Code war drama film directed by Allan Dwan and starring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.

When the brothers arrive at the family home, their mother is having tea with Molly Prescott, a childhood neighbor who has grown to be a lovely young woman—the woman in the fog.

Mrs. Ingleside is holding a benefit ball for the Red Cross, and Archie, Ruth and Sylvia, friends of the boys, spend the weekend.

Jack is assigned to take a crew of volunteers to put the gun back in order, returning over the same terrain that killed Taylor.

Back at the front, Jack tells Tom it was impossible to talk to their mother as there was a stone wall between them.

Tom observes that the letters they send home are lies, because they can't talk to her about what is really happening at the front.

Tom lingers by the guns, apparently in despair and seemingly waiting and wanting to be killed.

Calling Tom, Jack returns through barbed wire and across shattered ground to reach his brother, now wounded.

Uncredited: In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Mordaunt Hall wrote: "It is a thoroughly human story of war and love, taken from A. Hamilton Gibbs's novel.

It rings true in every episode, nothing being overdone, for which Alan Dwan, the director, deserves much credit.

The fact that it has not been tampered with unduly is the reason for its compelling quality, for no silly scenario tricks are permitted to interrupt the flow of events.

Mr. Dwan unfurls his tale with commendable restraint, giving through the turning of railroad coach wheels, those of an automobile or those of a motorcycle, a definite conception of the passage of time.
