W. Murnau and starring Janet Gaynor. While the 1928 version of the film had no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film movietone process. The synchronized version had only a limited release. The film was withdrawn to add talking sequences and the final part-talkie version was released to theatres in June 1929. Both versions appear to be lost. ## Credits - **Director:** [F. W.
