Three Hours is a 1927 American drama film based on the 1926 story Purple and Fine Linen by May Edginton. It was directed by James Flood and stars Corinne Griffith, who also served as executive producer.
The plot concerns a woman, Madeline Durkin (Griffith), who has lost all her wealth as well as her young daughter. Taking advantage of a stranger's kindness, she is apprehended for theft but asks for three hours leave to see her dying child.
Filmed in Los Angeles, the story is set in San Francisco. Nine years later, Edginton's story also provided the inspiration for the film Adventure in Manhattan. According to the website Silents Are Golden, a print of Three Hours survives at the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York.[1]

Three hours
by: Nick DrakeThree hours from sundown, Jeremy flies
Hoping to keep the sun from his eyes
East from the city and down to the cave
In search of a master in search of a slave
Three hours from London, Jacomo's free
Taking his woes down to the sea
In search of a lifetime to tell when he's home
In search of a story that's never been known
Three hours from speaking, everyone's flown
Not wanting to be, seen on their own
Three hours is needed to leave from them all
Three hours to wonder, three hours to fall
Three hours from sundown, Jeremy flies
Hoping to keep the sun from his eyes
East from the city and down to the cave
