Love and the Devil is a 1929 American synchronized sound drama film directed by Alexander Korda and starring Milton Sills, María Corda and Ben Bard.
[1][2] While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-disc Vitaphone process.
It was the last time Korda worked with his wife María Corda who he had directed frequently over the previous decade but whose career went into sharp decline once sound films came in.
[3] His next film The Squall would be his first "talkie", as the technology became rapidly established in the wake of The Jazz Singer.
The film featured a theme song entitled "Giovanna (To Thee I Am Calling)" which was composed by Josef Pasternack and Richard Kountz.
