4 Devils (also known as Four Devils) is a lost 1928 American Synchronized sound drama film directed by German director F. W. Murnau and starring Janet Gaynor. While the 1928 version of the film had no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the sound-on-film movietone process. The synchronized version had only a limited release. The film was withdrawn to add talking sequences and the final Part-Talkie version was released to theatres in June of 1929. Both versions appeared to be lost.
