The Cop (1928 film)

1928 film

The Cop is a 1928 American silent drama film directed by Donald Crisp. Due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also prepared. While the sound version has 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. At the 2nd Academy Awards in 1930, Elliott J. Clawson was nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay).[1] Prints of the film exist in several film archives including the Library of Congress.[2][3][4]
