No Place to Go is a 1927 American silent romance film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Mary Astor, Lloyd Hughes and Hallam Cooley.[1][2]

Plot

A wealthy young woman and a bank clerk elope during a cruise in the South Seas. Their disappearance causes concern, which is apparently justified because the two are attacked by savages on an island before they can marry. Marriage eventually occurs after the two return home, but more problems ensue.[3] The film was based on Richard Connell's story, Isles of Romance,[4] which appeared in the April 12, 1924, issue of The Saturday Evening Post.[5]

Cast

Production

In addition to Leroy as director, Henry Hobart was the film's producer. Adelaide Heilbron adapted the story and wrote the screenplay. George Folsey was director of photography. The film was distributed by First National Pictures, Inc.[5]

Status

As of 2018, one copy of No Place to Go was known to exist. The British Film Institute's archives contained "an original 35mm nitrate print ... in need of restoration".[4][6]
