The Rogue Song

The Rogue Song is a 1930 musical romance film which tells the story of a Russian bandit who falls in love with a princess, but takes his revenge on her when her brother rapes and kills his sister. It stars Lawrence Tibbett, Catherine Dale Owen[?], Nance O'Neil[?], Judith Vosselli[?], Ullrich Haupt[?], Elsa Alsen[?] and Florence Lake[?]. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy have small roles, which were filmed at the last minute and interspersed to increase the film's box office[?] appeal.

The movie was adapted by John Colton[?] and Frances Marion[?] from the operetta Gypsy Love by Robert Bodansky[?] and A.M. Willner[?]. It was directed by Lionel Barrymore and Hal Roach[?] (uncredited).

It was nominated for Academy Award for Best Actor (Lawrence Tibbett).

No print of the movie is known to exist, although the soundtrack is still available, and in fact was re-released in the 1980s.
