Blockade, Insert

A sailor's kiss over a sea battle.

What

A 1928 FBO insert for Blockade, an American part-talkie drama.

Why

George B. Seitz directed it, its soundtrack was recorded on the RCA Photophone system, and the film is lost.

Notice

The title runs down the sheet in tall red letters on a slant, under the line "in the Colossus of Sea Thrillers".

“A lost talkie at sea”
