Say It with Sables is a 1928 silent drama film directed by Frank Capra and produced by Harry Cohn for Columbia Pictures. Columbia no longer has a negative or print of this film, so the film is considered a lost film. Various film festivals have run a surviving trailer for the film during retrospectives of Capra's work.
