Love Sets Sail! was a pre-War romance movie produced by Andrew Levine and written by Shane Velloric and published by OEI Motion Pictures.

Background[]

Starring Vera Keyes, Mike Berlyn, and Vince Natali, not much is known about the plot of the movie, other than that one of its main characters was named Malcolm and it involved a freighter sinking at sea.[1] The movie like many others was lost after the Great War. It is known Love Sets Sail! performed well at the box-office when released, drawing the largest crowds of any of Vera's movies. It was panned by critics and reviewers however, because of its poorly written script.[2] Although Love Sets Sail! has been lost, Vera Keyes' audition has Vera partially reading one of her lines from the movie.

Excerpt[]

Malcolm... ever since our freighter went down, I feel like my heart's fallen to the bottom of the ocean along with my... ugh ...along with my career.— Vera Keyes, reading a line from the script during an audition.
