For the Love of Mike (1927) is a film directed by Frank Capra, and starring Claudette Colbert and Ben Lyon.

Frank Capra considered this the worst movie of his career. When this film was completed, there was no money left to pay Capra, so he had to hitchhike back to Hollywood from New York City. It is now considered a lost film -- no print is known to currently exist.
