Are You a Failure? is a 1923 American silent comedy film directed by Tom Forman and starring Madge Bellamy, Lloyd Hughes and Tom Santschi.

Plot Summary

Pampered by his single aunts and seemingly indecisive, Oliver Wendell Blaine enrolls in a correspondence course on "success". Step by step, Oliver adheres to the course guidelines, gradually boosting his self-assurance. He emerges as a local hero when he resolves a dangerous log jam that imperils the community. Subsequently, he earns the position of river boss and ties the knot with Phyllis Thorpe, the daughter of the lumber mill owner.
