Love and the Devil is a 1929 American synchronizedsounddrama film directed byAlexander Korda and starringMilton Sills,María Corda andBen Bard.[1][2] While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-discVitaphone process.
It was the last time Korda worked with his wife María Corda who he had directed frequently over the previous decade but whose career went into sharp decline oncesound films came in. Like Korda's previous filmNight Watch the film hadsound effects andmusic but nodialogue and was largely therefore asilent film.[3] His next filmThe Squall would be his first "talkie", as the technology became rapidly established in the wake ofThe Jazz Singer.
The film featured a theme song entitled "Giovanna (To Thee I Am Calling)" which was composed by Josef Pasternack and Richard Kountz.
