4 Devils (also known as Four Devils) is a 1928 silent drama film directed by German film director F. W. Murnau starring Janet Gaynor. The film was released by Fox Film and was commissioned by William Fox, who had hired Murnau to come to the USA and make movies, including this one and Sunrise.
The director and star of Sunrise made this film the following year about four orphans (Anders Randolf, Barry Norton, Charles Morton, and Gaynor) who become a high wire act, and the plot of the film centers around sinister goings-on at a circus.
No copies of the movie are known to exist, and 4 Devils remains among the most mourned of the lost films of the silent era. Details about the movie can be found on the DVD for Sunrise, released by 20th Century Fox as part of their 20th Century Fox Studio Classics collection.
