The Dove

US (1927): Romance

This is a fine film romance that has been quite forgotten. Norma Talmadge plays a Mexican saloon singer, known as 'The Dove.' She is romanced by a young caballero (Gilbert Roland) and menaced by a Villa-like brute of a dictator (Noah Beery). The latter arranges for the kidnapping of his rival and Norma tries to kill herself rather than submit to Beery. Luckily, her love escapes and rescues her. Directed by Roland West for Norma Talmadge Film Corp.; distributed by United Artists. (Arne Andersen, IMDb)
