Explore the groundbreaking silent war drama What Price Glory (1926), directed by legendary filmmaker Raoul Walsh and produced by Fox Film Corporation. Based on the famous Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson stage play, this powerful World War I classic stars Victor McLaglen as Capt. Flagg, Edmund Lowe as Sgt. Quirt, and Dolores Del Rio as Charmaine. Celebrated for its gritty realism, sharp humor, and emotional intensity, the film became one of the defining military dramas of the silent era. This video also highlights the historic Fox Movietone score arranged by Erno Rapee, an important milestone in early synchronized sound presentation.
Set against the backdrop of World War I France, What Price Glory follows the ongoing rivalry and friendship between Capt. Flagg and Sgt. Quirt as they lead U.S. Marines through wartime danger while competing for the affection of Charmaine. Raoul Walsh’s energetic direction and the unforgettable performances by Victor McLaglen, Edmund Lowe, and Dolores Del Rio helped make the film a major critical and commercial success.

Distribution was handled by Fox Film Corporation, which managed a limited premiere run in late 1926, followed by a general U.S. theatrical release on August 28, 1927, capitalizing on the film’s prestige as a major adaptation. *Facing the rise of sound films, Fox reissued the picture in January 1927 with synchronized music and sound effects via the Movietone system, adding battlefield noises and a score.*
Fans of silent cinema, classic war films, Raoul Walsh, Fox Film classics, and early Movietone productions will not want to miss this look at one of the most influential films of the 1920s.

If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t there a later remake of this movie starring James Cagney?
I just love Charmaine and the way she handled her two lovers. She was one tough cookie. My compliments to Pizza Flix for this excellent movie.
Wow, I’ve been wanting to see this for ages. Where can I buy a copy?
Victor McLaglen was a former professional boxer who specialized in “manly” roles in silents, and Irish roles when his brogue was exposed by sound. He won the 1935 Best Actor Oscar for “The Informer” at RKO and supported John Wayne in several Westerns and war movies, and one other, “The Quiet Man” in 1952. Edmund Lowe was the matinee idol, but McLaglen stole the show. Dolores Del Rio was her usual lovely self. This was released the year before sound really hit; Fox already had it’s Movietone system and re-released the film in 1928 in sound (music and sound effects) for those theatres that had equipment and silent for those that hadn’t yet made the conversion. James Cagney and Dan Dailey had the leads in Fox’ 1952 remake; Corinne Calvet is the girl and Robert Wagner, William Demarest and Harry Morgan supporting.
Entertaining, powerful, tragic.
The image quality is awesome but I think the audio is a litle out of sync, for example at the minute 32:36 you should hear the knock on the door, but you don’t hear it until the minute 32:41
