When a Man Loves
Based On the book by Antoine François Prévost
When a Man Loves is a 1927 American synchronized sound historical drama film directed by Alan Crosland and produced and distributed by Warner Bros. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the Vitaphone sound-on-disc process. The picture stars John Barrymore and features Dolores Costello in the frequently filmed story of Abbé Prévost's 1731 novel Manon Lescaut. The lovers suffer, but the film has an optimistic ending, as they head to America.
