The Awakening
US (1928): Drama/Lost/Silent (w. music & sound effects)
Victor Fleming directs this early transition to talkies with Vilma Bánky, Walter Byron and Louis Wolheim. A review in Variety described this film as "a pinch of The White Sister, a seasoning of The Scarlet Letter, a large chunk of all the war pictures since 1918, and several slices of small-time baloney." The film cost $762,000 to make, and after deducting costs of distribution, prints, and advertising, Samuel Goldwyn, Inc., pocketed only $50,000 profit from the film's run
No print or negative materials are known to exist at this time.
