 In spite of his successes, Cinégraphic was steadily losing money, and for his next film L'Herbier chose a more popular and straightforward subject, "Le Vertige" (1926), filmed in the south of France, which was a commercial success.This was followed by "Le Diable au cœur" (1928), a maritime drama set in the fishing port of Honfleur, and featuring the English actress Betty Balfour; this was the first French feature to be shot on panchromatic film.The next and final Cinégraphic production (in collaboration with Société des Cinéromans) was another large-scale project, "L'Argent" (also 1928), an adaptation of Zola's novel of the same name, transposed from the 1860s to the then present day.
