Flowing Gold is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Joseph De Grasse and starring Anna Q. Nilsson, Milton Sills, and Alice Calhoun. The film's plot concerns the Texas oil industry.[1]
As described in a film magazine review,[2] ex-soldier Calvin Gray arrives in the Texas oil fields and meets the newly rich Briskow family. He soon becomes involved in a medley of adventures, including saving the Briscows from business ruin, rescuing the son Buddy from a foolish marriage, revenging himself on a perjured officer who had caused his dismissal from military service, and winning the love of Allegheny Briskow. When a downpour causes a flood with burning oil floating on the waters, and lightning hitting a gusher well, Allegheny is able to rescue her sweetheart.
A print of Flowing Gold was discovered in the Czech Film Archive,[3] and in 2020 the National Film Preservation Foundation issued a grant to the San Francisco Silent Film Festival for the restoration of the film.[4]
