  • 원작: The Wrecker

The Wrecker is a 1929 British-German sound crime film directed by Géza von Bolváry and starring Carlyle Blackwell, Joseph Striker, and Benita Hume. The sound version was a Part-Talkie prepared by Tiffany-Stahl Productions and was copyrighted by them in 1929 in the United States making the sound version public domain. The film has two short sequences with audible dialog at the start and towards the end of the film. The rest of the film features a synchronized musical score with sound effects. Tiffany-Stahl used the sound-on-film RCA Photophone process to record the soundtrack. The film was also issued on sound-on-disc format using Tiffany-Tone (Vitaphone-type) sound discs.

Production

The crash scene was filmed at Herriard on the Basingstoke and Alton Light Railway. A set of SECR coaches and F1 class locomotive No. A148 were released on an incline to collide into a Foden steam lorry. The impact, which destroyed the locomotive and the lorry, was recorded by 23 cameras and has been described as "the most spectacular rail crash in cinema history."
