The Sky Pilot (a 1921 American silent drama film) was released by First National, and although it was not a success, it did not signal the demise of King Vidor Productions.
First National released the picture but declined to finance any further film projects by Vidor. These financial setbacks signaled the demise of King Vidor Productions. Costly efforts to create landscapes on location produced budget overruns diminishing the profitability of the film.
