Valencia, also known as The Love Song, is a 1926 American silent romance film directed by Dimitri Buchowetzki, who came over from Paramount to direct, and starring Mae Murray and featuring Boris Karloff in an uncredited role. Rumors of a surviving print persist.[1] The film was a box office hit and the title song, Valencia, was the top song in the U.S. for the year.[2]
