Synopsis

The Rogue Song (1930) Film Trailer Complete Trailer for the Lost film. A portion of the picture element has been lost at the start of the trailer but the sound survives complete on soundtrack Vitaphone type disk. The Rogue Song is a 1930 romantic musical film which tells the story of a Russian bandit who falls in love with a princess, but takes his revenge on her when her brother rapes and kills his sister. The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production was directed by Lionel Barrymore and released in two versions, an English 'All Talking' version and an 'International Sound Version' for non-English speaking audiences. The film stars Metropolitan Opera singer Lawrence Tibbett—who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance—and Catherine Dale Owen. Laurel and Hardy were third-billed; their sequences were filmed at the last minute and interspersed throughout the film in an attempt to boost its potential box office appeal. This film, which was MGM's first All-Talking Technicolor film, is partially lost, as there are no known complete prints of this film. Fragments do exist, including three fragments from the 'International Sound Version' which survive at the Czech film archive.
