The Story Without a Name is a 1924 American silent melodrama film directed by Irvin Willat and based on a novel by Arthur Stringer, which was published in conjunction with the film. It was produced by Famous Players-Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures and stars Agnes Ayres.[1] A contest run by Photoplay magazine asked viewers to select a title for the film for a prize of $5,000, with the alternative title Without Warning selected as the winning entry.
A 1952 film noir with the title Without Warning! had a working title of The Story Without a Name, but the plots of the two films are quite different.[2]
