Bardelys the Magnificent is a 1926 silent romantic drama film directed by King Vidor starring John Gilbert and Eleanor Boardman. The film was based on a novel by Rafael Sabatini. It was only the second film of the 19 year old John Wayne, who had a minor role. The film was considered lost for years, the only surviving bits being the trailer and a brief excerpt in Vidor’s Show People, but several intact reels were discovered in a European collection.
