Lure of Ambition [898783] Released: 1919-11-16 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 50 mins Popularity: 0.0757 Vote Average: 0 Vote Count: 0 Overview: Theda Bara plays the social-climbing Olga Dolan, who becomes the Duchess of Rutledge by means of deception and sheer ruthlessness. Sadly, Bara, who had more or less single-handedly begun the "vamp" craze with the prototype of the genre, A Fool There Was, went out with little more than a whisper. She left films after the ironically titled The Lure of Ambition, and was lured back only twice, in: The Unchastened Woman (1925), a poverty row concoction which had few takers, and Madame Mystery (1926) Cast [10] Theda BaraOlga Dolan Thurlow BergenDuke of Rutledge William B.
