The Swan is a 1925 American silent comedy film directed by Dimitri Buchowetzki and starring Frances Howard, Adolphe Menjou and Ricardo Cortez. It was produced by Famous Players–Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures.
The film is based on Melville Baker's 1923 Broadway play adaptation, The Swan, of Ferenc Molnar's play A Hattyu Vigjatek Harom Felvonasbarn.
This film was directed by Dimitri Buchowetzki, a recent Russian immigrant working for Famous Players–Lasky. Buchowetzki had directed pictures in Russia, Sweden, and Germany. The story of this film was remade in 1930 as One Romantic Night, an early talkie for Lillian Gish, and in Technicolor as a 1956 vehicle for Grace Kelly.
This silent version survives and can be found on home video and DVD.[1] [2]
