Daddy's Gone A-Hunting is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Frank Borzage based upon a play by Zoë Akins, with adaptation by Kenneth B. Clarke.
The film brought together Vitagraph leading lady Alice Joyce and English actor Percy Marmont after his success with If Winter Comes.
[2][3] Julian (Percy Marmont) is a poor artist who lives with wife Edith (Alice Joyce) and their newborn baby in Harlem.
Struggling to make ends meet, he foregoes his artistic calling and draws for magazines.
Each of their lives evolves differently — Edith is courted by a wealthy suitor whom she ignores while pining for her husband, while Julian fails to meet his goals in Paris, returning defeated back to New York City three years later.
