The Cavalier is a 1928 American synchronized sound Western film directed by Irvin Willat, distributed by Tiffany Studios, and starring Richard Talmadge and Barbara Bedford.[1] While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process.
The story takes place in old Mexico, where a masked rider (Talmadge) and an impoverished girl (Bedford) fall in love, against her father's wishes. When she leaves with him, her father sends his gang in a chase after the two lovers.
The film featured a theme song entitled "My Cavalier” composed by Hugo Riesenfeld (music) and R. Meredith Willson (lyrics).
Originally intended to be an all-sound film, the picture was shot silent and was distributed with a music and special effects soundtrack, with no dialogue, due to technical issues with the sound synchronization equipment.
Previously considered to be a lost film,[2] the film exists in the Spanish archive Filmoteca de Catalunya, Barcelona.[3] Another print survives at the BFI film archive.[4]
