General Crack


General Crack is a 1930 American PreCode parttalkie historical costume melodrama with Technicolor sequences which was directed by Alan Crosland and produced and distributed by Warner Bros. It was filmed and premiered in 1929, and released early in 1930. It stars John Barrymore in his first fulllength alltalking feature. The film would prove to be Crosland and Barrymores last historical epic together.

The sound version of the film is lost. The silent version of this film, with Czech intertitles, survives, but does not have any of the original color sequences. Copies are located in the Czech archive and the Modern Museum of Art. Although the complete soundtrack for the sound version survives on Vitaphone disks, the silent version was either a B negative or an alternate take with intertitles. So while this is a legitimate version of the film, it does not match up with the Vitaphone soundtrack.
