Interference (film) director Lothar Mendes
Production
The film was originally produced as a silent which was directed by Lothar Mendes. However, after its completion, Paramount halted its release and decided to remake the film completely in sound. The sound version was directed by special effects technician-turned-director Roy J. Pomeroy, as the basis for Paramount Pictures' first feature-length all-talking motion picture. Since Pomeroy lacked experience as a director, he was assisted by William deMille during the filming. It was based on the 1927 West End play Interference by Roland Pertwee and Harold Dearden. It was shot on a budget of $250,000 A silent version was also released to cater for theaters that had not yet wired for sound. While the sound version survives, the silent version is now lost.In 1935 it was remade by Paramount as Without Regret.
