The Docks of New York is a 1928 American silent film by director Josef von Sternberg. Bill Roberts is a ship stoker on leave in New York City for one night only. There, he encounters the beautiful and mysterious Mae as she leaps from the docks into the chilly waters. Bill saves the girl's life and offers her care, but with an eye towards further pleasures as the night continues. Mae, despondent, aloof, but moved, gives him one night of her company, though not without some assurances. MOMA film curator Charles Silver called The Docks of New York “probably the last genuinely great silent film made in Hollywood [rivaling] Chaplin’s masterpieces of the 1930s.”
