What happens

Across to Singapore is a 1928 American silent romantic drama film directed by William Nigh, and starring Ramon Novarro, Joan Crawford and Ernest Torrence. The plot involves a love triangle between a woman and two brothers, set on board ship and in Singapore. The screenplay was written by Ted Shane based on the novel All the Brothers Were Valiant by Ben Ames Williams. This was the second film based on the novel; the first was All the Brothers Were Valiant (1923, now lost). It was remade a third time in 1953, as All the Brothers Were Valiant.
