What happens
Resurrection is a 1927 American romantic drama film directed by Edwin Carewe, based on Leo Tolstoy's 1899 novel Resurrection. The film is a feature-length silent production starring Dolores del Río and featuring an appearance by Ilya Tolstoy who co-wrote the script. In 1928, due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also produced with a newly filmed prologue in which the theme song "Russian Lullaby" was performed and sung. While the actual film had no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. In 1931, Carewe directed an all-talking remake of the film starred by Lupe Vélez. The film's premiere was held at the Mark Strand Theatre in Manhattan on May 15, 1927. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
