The Case of Sergeant Grischa
The Supreme Epic of Mankind
This film earned an Oscar nomination for Sound Recording. It is the only film nominated in this category that is among the lost. No negative or print material is known to have survived. Contemporary reviews were scathing, describing the film as a vastly overlong and boring talk-fest.
Directed by Herbert Brenon
