The Patriot
US (1928): Drama/Silent (w. talking sequences)/Lost
This is perhaps the most sought after of all "lost" films. There are a few pieces in the UCLA archives but no negative or complete reels are known to exist. It received extraordinary reviews, was nominated for five Oscars. Oddly it won for Screenplay - a silent film in the first year of the talkies. Talkie sequences were added after the film's opening. Said to contain one of Emil Jannings' best performances as Mad Czar Paul I. (Arne Andersen, IMDb)
