The Blue Danube is a 1928 American silent romantic drama film starring Leatrice Joy. Due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also prepared. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. This picture was produced by Cecil B. DeMille and directed by Paul Sloane with a distribution through Pathé Exchange.
A romance set in Austria before, during, and after World War I.
The sound version featured a theme song entitled âÂÂMoonlight on the Danubeâ which was composed by Byron Gay.
A print of The Blue Danube is preserved at the Library of Congress, Archives Du Film Du CNC(Bois d'Arcy), BFI National Film And Television Archive.
