The Naulahka is a 1918 American silent adventure film directed by George Fitzmaurice and starring Antonio Moreno, Helene Chadwick and Warner Oland. It was made for a reported cost of $100,000 leading the studio to claim it was the most expensive film ever made, although many earlier productions had in fact been made with larger budgets.[1] It is based on a poem of the same name by Rudyard Kipling. Originally eight reels long, it was later shortened to six with a running time of around an hour.
The film's sets were designed by the art directors Anton Grot and William Cameron Menzies. It was shot at the Solax Studios at Fort Lee, the traditional center of the American film industry. [2]
