The Sacred Flame is a 1929 American sound (All-Talking) romantic drama film directed by Archie Mayo, starring Pauline Frederick and Conrad Nagel, and based on a 1928 Broadway play of the same title by Somerset Maugham. It is now considered a lost film. Two years later Warner Bros. Pictures remade the film in German The Sacred Flame. In 1935, a second remake The Right to Live, was made, starring Colin Clive and George Brent.
