Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Tavern Knight is a 1920 British silent historical film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Eille Norwood, Madge Stuart and Cecil Humphreys. It was based on the 1904 novel The Tavern Knight by Rafael Sabatini. It is not known whether the film currently survives, and it may be a lost film. In 1927 Warner Brothers planned a Vitaphone version of The Tavern Knight with John Barrymore but it was substituted for the Manon Lescaut story which was called When a Man Loves.
