What happens
Java Head is a 1923 American silent romantic drama film directed by George Melford and starring Leatrice Joy, Jacqueline Logan, Frederick Strong, Alan Roscoe, and Betty Bronson in a bit part. It is based on a popular novel of the same name by Joseph Hergesheimer, which in turn is named after the geographical feature. Java Head was remade in a 1934 British sound film starring Anna May Wong which was released by Associated Talking Pictures. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
