Leoni Leo

Leoni Leo (subtitled The Life of an Adventurer ) is a 1917 Hungarian adventure film directed by Alfréd Deésy. Jozsef Pakots' screenplay was adapted from the original George Sand novel Leone Leoni. The sets were designed by Sironthai Istvan. The film was completed, a few promotional photographs were also distributed to the press, yet for reasons remaining unknown, it was never theatrically released. While certain unsubstantiated sources reference a "press screening" in August 1917, any such event must have been restricted to an exclusive circle. During this era, the majority of hungarian films underwent a preliminary preview for the press – typically a few months, or sometimes weeks prior to their public premiere – nevertheless, even this was denied to Leoni Leo.

Plot

Lugosi plays the noble bandit Baron Leoni Leo, who leads a group of roguish gentlemen known as "the Ten". He tricks Juliette, whose father is the wealthiest jeweler in Brussels, into thinking he is in love with her, but he is really just after her for her money.
