The Rolling Road is a 1927 British silent drama film directed by Graham Cutts and starring Carlyle Blackwell, Flora le Breton, Clifford Heatherley and A.V. Bramble.[1] The screenplay concerns a young woman in a Cornish fishing village who has to choose between various suitors.
It was made at Islington Studios and on location at Porthleven in Cornwall and Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.[2] It premiered in May 1927 and went on general release in September of the same year.
