About The Great Mail Robbery

Veteran serial director George B. Seitz keeps things perpetually on the move in The Great Mail Robbery. Theodore von Eltz stars as Marine lieutenant Donald Macready, assigned by his commanding officer to squelch a train-robbery gang. Going undercover, Macready infiltrates the gang and monitors their every move.

Directed by George B. Seitz, The Great Mail Robbery leans on a strong ensemble — Theodore von Eltz, Frank Nelson, Jean Fenwick — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1927.
