The Winding Stair is a lost 1925 American silent drama film directed by John Griffith Wray and starring Alma Rubens, Edmund Lowe, and Warner Oland.[1] It is based on the 1923 novel of the same name by the British writer A.E.W. Mason.[2]
As described in a film magazine review, a French Legionnaire on foreign station loves a cafe dancer, and when the natives rebel and the young woman is endangered, the officer leaves his command to go to the woman's aid. His friend saves him from court-martial and he heads a regiment in the World War. When the war ends, he marries the dancer.
With no prints of The Winding Stair located in any film archives,[3] it is lost film.[4]
