The Gallant Hussar (German:Der fesche Husar) is a 1928 German-British historical drama film directed by Géza von Bolváry and starring Ivor Novello, Evelyn Holt and Paul Hörbiger.[1] It was based on a story by the Hungarian writer Arthur Bárdos and Margarete-Maria Langen.
The film was a co-production made under an agreement between Gainsborough Pictures and the German studio UFA and was shot in Berlin. After the passage of the 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.[2] It is also known under the alternative title The Bold Dragoon.
