Desert Nights (also known as Thirst) is a 1929 American synchronized sound adventure/romantic drama film starring John Gilbert, Ernest Torrence, and Mary Nolan.

[1][2] While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process.

After a few days in the sweltering heat, three of the crooks decide to take their chances in Cape Town instead and demand their share of the loot.

Mordaunt Hall, critic for The New York Times, gave the film a favorable review, writing that "incredible though this adventure may be, it happens to be one that holds the interest."

"[3] Desert Nights survives and is available for download or DVD purchase from The Warner Bros. Archives collection site.
