The Sacred Flame is a 1929 American sound (All-Talking) romantic drama film directed by Archie Mayo, starring Pauline Frederick and Conrad Nagel, and based on a 1928 Broadway play of the same title by Somerset Maugham. It was considered a lost film until a 3 second fragment was rediscovered on May 10, 2022. Two years later Warner Bros. Pictures remade the film in German The Sacred Flame.
