The Wedding Song (1918 film)

The Wedding Song () is a 1918 Hungarian film directed by Alfréd Deésy. The film was released on 27 February 1918, first shown at the Corso Theater in Budapest. Lugosi's co-star in the film, Karoly Lajthay, later went on to direct the first film version of "Dracula", entitled Drakula halála (1923). (Lugosi had already emigrated to America by then.)

Plot

Bela Lugosi played Paul Bertram, a celebrated violinist. While on their honeymoon, Bertram and his wife are assaulted by Izau (Károly Lajthay), a rival pianist who is in love with Bertram’s wife. Bertram kills the pianist in a duel and escapes into the forest. His wife remains behind, still believing that Bertram was killed by Izau. They are later reunited when she hears her husband playing a tune that he played to her on their wedding night.
