The Scarlet West is a 1925 American silent historical drama film directed by John G. Adolfi and starring Robert Frazer and Clara Bow. It was distributed by the First National company.[1] [2]
This was an ambitious silent film made by an independent producer about George Armstrong Custer and the Battle of the Little Bighorn. It was filmed on location at Dolores, Colorado.
There are no prints of The Scarlet West surviving, which makes it a lost film.[3] [4] A trailer survives at the Library of Congress.[5] Some of the still photography from the production survives and is used in a documentary on local cinematographer Victor Shuler, who was one of four cameramen on the production.[6]
