The film was a [co-production](/source/Co-production_(filmmaking)) made under an agreement between [Gainsborough Pictures](/source/Gainsborough_Pictures) and the German studio [Felsom-Film](/source/Felsom-Film) and was shot in [Berlin](/source/Berlin). After the passage of the [Cinematograph Films Act 1927](/source/Cinematograph_Films_Act_1927) by the British Parliament it was classified under the terms of the Act as a foreign film and only received a limited release in Britain.[3] It is also known under the [alternative title](/source/Alternative_title) ***The Bold Dragoon***. It is now considered a [lost film](/source/Lost_film).[4] Along with *[A South Sea Bubble](/source/A_South_Sea_Bubble)* (1928), the film marked a significant change in the role played by Novello. He had previously appeared as unsettled, outsider figures in films such as *[The Lodger](/source/The_Lodger%3A_A_Story_of_the_London_Fog)*, but from now on played more well-balanced romantic figures.[5] ## Synopsis The daughter of an American millionaire falls in love with a Hungarian [hussar](/source/Hussar) officer during a visit to the [Austrian Empire](/source/Austrian_Empire). ## Cast - [Ivor Novello](/source/Ivor_Novello) as Lieutenant Stephen Alrik - [Evelyn Holt](/source/Evelyn_Holt) as Mary Wentworth - [Paul Hörbiger](/source/Paul_H%C3%B6rbiger) as Baron von Korporetzky - [Paul Otto](/source/Paul_Otto) as Oberst von Stromm - [Hilde Hildebrand](/source/Hilde_Hildebrand) as Vilma von Noszty - [Ernő Verebes](/source/Ern%C5%91_Verebes) as Bubenyik - [Ibolya Szekely](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ibolya_Szekely&action=edit&redlink=1) as Katy - [Gyula Szőreghy](/source/Gyula_Sz%C5%91reghy) as Herr Ocks - [Fritz Alberti](/source/Fritz_Alberti) as Michael Toth - [Franz Paray](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Franz_Paray&action=edit&redlink=1) as Paul von Noszty - [Elisabeth Pinajeff](/source/Elisabeth_Pinajeff) as Rosie Velkovicz ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-FOOTNOTELow370_1-0)** [Low](#CITEREFLow), p. 370. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** ["Der FESCHE HUSAR (1928)"](https://web.archive.org/web/20090114061727/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/206265). *Ftvdb.bfi.org.uk*.
