The Lost Zeppelin is a 1929 talking adventure film directed by Edward Sloman and produced and distributed by Tiffany-Stahl. It stars Conway Tearle, Virginia Valli and Ricardo Cortez. Tearle plays a navy officer modeled on U. S. Navy Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd who was then a national aviation hero. Byrd made his own genuine Antarctic adventure With Byrd at the South Pole during his South Pole Expedition 1928-29.
As with Atlantic, a sound film about the Titanic, the film shows the difficulty of filming early talkie adventures i.e. the motors of the Zeppelin and aircraft sound like vibrators.
The Lost Zeppelin is released on Alpha DVD and is listed preserved in the Library of Congress database.
