The Isle of Lost Ships

The Isle of Lost Ships is a 1929 American all-talking sound drama film. The picture was produced by Richard A. Rowland and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. Irvin Willat was the director with Jason Robards Sr., Virginia Valli, and Noah Beery Sr. in the leads. It is based on the 1909 novel The Isle of Dead Ships by Crittenden Marriott, and is also a remake of Maurice Tourneur's now lost 1923 classic of the same name. A mute copy of this film is preserved at the Library of Congress and UCLA. The Vitaphone discs which contain the soundtrack to the film are currently lost. An almost complete copy of the Dutch silent version of the film survives (reel four is missing) at the Eye Filmmuseum archive with an estimated running time of 55:58.
