The Cavalier is a 1928 American silent Western film directed by Irvin Willat, distributed by Tiffany Studios, and starring Richard Talmadge and Barbara Bedford.[1]
Plot[]
The story takes place in old Mexico, where a masked rider (Talmadge) and an impoverished girl (Bedford) fall in love, against her father's wishes. When she leaves with him, her father sends his gang in a chase after the two lovers.
Background/Production[]
Originally intended to be an all-sound film, the picture was shot silent and was distributed with a music and special effects soundtrack, with no dialogue, due to technical issues with the sound synchronization equipment.
Preservation[]
Previously considered to be a lost film.[2] The film exists in a Spanish archive Filmoteca De Catalunya, Barcelona.[3]
