Wikipedia article
'The Gallant Hussar' is a 1928 German-British romance film directed by Gza von Bolvry and starring Ivor Novello, Evelyn Holt, and Paul Hrbiger. It was based on a story by the Hungarian writer Arthur Brdos and Margarete-Maria Langen.
The film was a co-production made under an agreement between Gainsborough Pictures and the German studio Felsom-Film and was shot in Berlin. After the passage of the Cinematograph Films Act 1927 by the British Parliament it was classified under the terms of the Act as a foreign film and only received a limited release in Britain. It is also known under the alternative title 'The Bold Dragoon'. It is now considered a lost film.
Along with 'A South Sea Bubble' (1928), the film marked a significant change in the role played by Novello. He had previously appeared as unsettled, outsider figures in films such as 'The Lodger', but from now on played more well-balanced romantic figures.
