One Exciting Night
One Exciting Night is a 1922 American Gothic silent Mystery film directed by D. W. Griffith.
The plot revolves around a series of murders on a wealthy estate and the attempts of the cast to uncover the murderer's identity.
The success of both the Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood play "The Bat" (1920), as well as the 1922 stage play "The Cat and the Canary", led Griffith to write and produce his own variation on the theme, which in turn led to the production of similar "murder mystery/old dark house" films such as "The Ghost Breaker" (1922), previously filmed by C. B. DeMille in 1914, "The Bat" (1926) based on the play, "Midnight Faces" (1926), "The Cat and the Canary" (1927), "The Old Dark House" (1932) and even the fabled "London After Midnight" (1927) with Lon Chaney.
At the time of this film, Henry Hull was starring on Broadway in the stage version of John Willard's "The Cat and the Canary".
D. W. Griffith
David Wark Griffith( January 22, 1875 – July 23, 1948) was an American film director.
Widely considered as the most important filmmaker of his generation, he pioneered the feature- length movie and many enduring cinematic techniques, such as the close- up.
His film" The Birth of a Nation"( 1915) broke box- office records but also attracted much controversy, as it depicted African Americans in a negative light and glorified the Ku Klux Klan.
" Intolerance"( 1916) was made as an answer to his critics.
Several of Griffith's later films were also successful, including" Broken Blossoms"( 1919)," Way Down East"( 1920), and" Orphans of the Storm"( 1921), but the high costs he incurred for production and promotion often led to commercial failure.
He had made roughly 500 films by the time of his final feature," The Struggle"( 1931).
Together with Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, he founded United Artists, enabling them to control their own interests, rather than depending on commercial studios.
Griffith was a founder member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
