The Flag: A Story Inspired by the Tradition of Betsy Ross is a 1927 MGM silent fictionalized film short in two-color Technicolor, about the making of the U.S. flag by Betsy Ross. The basically true story is combined with a completely fictional subplot in which a British soldier crosses enemy lines to visit his wife, a friend of Betsy Ross.
