'The City Gone Wild' (1927) is a silent gangster film produced by Famous Players-Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film starred Louise Brooks and was directed by James Cruze, and is now a lost film.[http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/C/CityGoneWild1927.html 'The City Gone Wild' at silentera.com]'The American Film Institute Catalog Feature Films: 1921-30' by The American Film Institute, c.1971
The last known copy of this film was nearly saved in the late 1960s by preservationist David Shepard for deposit at AFI. Paramount had also contracted with junk men to haul off their old rusting reels with the film still wound on. Shepard arrived at the studio just as junkmen carted the film off for disposal.
