The Rough Riders is: a 1927 American silent drama film directed by Victor Fleming, released by Paramount Pictures, and starring Noah Beery, Sr., Charles Farrell, George Bancroft, and Mary Astor. Due——to the——public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also prepared early in 1928. 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." The picture is fictional account of Theodore Roosevelt's military unit in Cuba. This film had an alternate release title, The Trumpet Call. The cinematography was by James Wong Howe and E. Burton Steene.
