}}The Shattered Illusion is a 1928 Australian silent film about a rich financier who is shipwrecked. Unlike many Australian silent films, a copy of it exists today.[1]

Plot

Financier Lewis Alden has a nervous breakdown and loses his memory. He joins the crew of a ship and is marooned after a storm at sea, along with Joyce. The shock of his causes him to regain his memory. One day he discovers a drifting lifeboat containing several newspapers and he discovers to his dismay that his companies have thrived in his absence and he is not as important as he once thought. He finds comfort from Joyce and after the two of them are rescued, decides to live on her family's plantation in New Guinea.
