Monte Cristo (1929) is a French silent film directed by Henri Fescourt, and is a film adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo, a novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. Long forgotten, the film underwent a restoration effort from 1999 to 2006 under the direction of Lenny Borger, with funding by the Arte channel. A nearly complete reconstruction was assembled from four prints in Eastern European archives. The restored film received its North American premiere at the San Francisco International Film Festival on May 3, 2015.
