label: Description (Brief)
content: The Night Rose is a silent film directed by Wallace Worsley, produced and distributed by Goldwyn Pictures, released in 1921. The crime drama stars Lon Chaney, Leatrice Joy, Cullen Landis, and Betty Schade, and tells the story of a gang leader who attempts to frame his bookkeeper for murder because he’s in love with his sweetheart. Due to its scenes of violence and crime, the film was subject to censorship by local film boards across the United States. The New York State Motion Picture Commission condemned the film as “highly immoral and of such character that its exhibition would not only tend to corrupt morals, but to incite crime.” Under an agreement with the New York censors, Goldwyn re-edited the film, removing much of Chaney’s performance, and re-released it under the title Voices of the City in 1922. The film may have also been released as Flower of Darkness. No theatrical release copy of the film is known to have survived.
