Interesting facts

Revenge is a 1928 synchronized American sound drama film directed by Edwin Carewe. The film featured a Technicolor prologue at the start of the film in which a fortune teller conjures up and introduces each of the film characters by using her cards. 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 film starred Dolores del Río, James A. Marcus, LeRoy Mason, and Rita Carewe. The film was based on the short story The Bear Tamer's Daughter by Konrad Bercovici.

Production

Dolores del Río had the luxury of renaming the film adaptation as Revenge, as she believed that all of her film successes began with the letter "R" (Resurrection (1927), Ramona (1928), and The Red Dance (1928)). While del Rio was in the middle of divorcing Jaime Martínez del Río in 1926, Revenge was abandoned. She eventually divorced him in 1928. Production resumed on Revenge in June 1928 and was finished filming by August 1928.

Revenge's cinematographers were Al Green and Robert Kurrle.

Editing of Revenge was done by Jeanne Spencer.
