'Monte Cristo' is a 1922 American silent drama film produced and distributed by Fox Film Corporation and directed by Emmett J. Flynn.

John Gilbert plays the hero with Estelle Taylor as the leading lady. This film was long thought lost until a print surfaced in the Czech Republic. The film has been released on DVD, packaged with Gilbert's 1926 MGM film 'Bardelys the Magnificent'.[http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/M/MonteCristo1922.html 'Monte Cristo' at silentera.com]'The American Film Institute Catalog Feature Films: 1921-30' by The American Film Institute, c. 1971[http://www.afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspx?s=&Movie=10841 The AFI Catalog of Feature Films: 'Monte Cristo']
