The Orlov

About This Movie

The Orlov is a 1927 film based on the operetta of the same name. Directed by an unknown filmmaker and produced by Hegewald Film, this silent film features a notable cast including Iván Petrovich and Vivian Gibson.

The Orlov has seen limited circulation since its release, making it a rare find for collectors. Most copies are in fragile condition, often found in archival collections or as part of niche silent film compilations. Its status is somewhat underappreciated, but there’s a growing collector interest as enthusiasts delve deeper into the silent era's operatic influences. Any print or recording in decent quality can command attention among collectors, especially those focused on the intersections of theatre and early cinema.
