The Isle of Lost Ships (1929)
This fantastic melodrama of men and women lost in the Sargasso Sea is a triumph of production. Its scenes of dead ships in a lonely sea are magnificent. Not so much can be said for the dialogue, which is stiff. The leads are well played by Noah Beery, Jason Robards, and Virginia Valli. Keen fans will remember Maurice Tourneur made a silent version of the same story years ago.
