The Case Of Lena Smith
''The Case of Lena Smith'' is a 1929 American silent drama film directed by Josef von Sternberg, starring Esther Ralston and James Hall, and released by Paramount Pictures. ''The Case of Lena Smith'' is ranked by film critics as among the “lost masterpieces” of the silent era and the Holy Grail for archivists who sift through film repositories. The last remaining prints were destroyed by Paramount Pictures shortly after the end of the Second World War for tax purposes. In 2003, Japanese film historian Komatsu Hiroshi unearthed a four-minute fragment of ''The Case of Lena Smith'' in Manchuria, China, reviving interest in the film. The work was the last of Sternberg's eight silent films and one of three in his career set in the city of his birth and childhood: Vienna. The two other movies are ''Dishonored'' (1931) and ''The King Steps Out'' (1936). American film-maker Curtis Harrington was among the latter people to view a print from the Paramount vaults.
