The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1929)
1929 · 1h 27m · Drama
Genres: Drama
This first cinematic version of the classic book is a part-talkie, although the only surviving print is silent (housed in the George Eastman House, Rochester, NY). It is a straight-forward telling of the intermingled lives of a group of strangers doomed to die in a collapsing bridge accident.
