No Place to Go is a 1927 American silent romance film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Mary Astor, Lloyd Hughes and Hallam Cooley.[1]

Plot[]

A wealthy young woman and a bank clerk elope during a cruise in the South Seas. Their disappearance causes concern, which is apparently justified because the two are attacked by savages on an island before they can marry. Marriage eventually occurs after the two return home, but more problems ensue.[2] The film was based on Richard Connell's story, Isles of Romance,[3] which appeared in the April 12, 1924, issue of The Saturday Evening Post.[4]
