Romance is a 1920 American silent drama film directed by Chester Withey and released through United Artists.
The nephew of Griffith's favorite cameraman, Billy Bitzer, was the cinematographer.
The story was later remade as Romance in 1930, an early talking vehicle for Greta Garbo.
A priest (Sydney) is in love with an Italian opera singer (Keane), and the drama involves the conflict between his efforts to rise above worldly things or to leave with her.
The movie was based on a hit play and was financed by fledgling United Artists.
