To avoid imprisonment, he decides to fake his own murder during a party at his luxurious mansion. But when the guests start mysteriously dying one by one, Andrews realizes that there actually is a killer on the loose...one that may hold the key to proving his innocence...\u003cp\u003e A \"Universal Jewel Production\", \u003ci\u003eSecrets of the Night\u003c\/i\u003e is a spooky murder mystery that in many ways prefigures the horror films the studio would be making in a few short years. Leading man James Kirkwood began his career in D.W. Griffith pictures such as \u003ci\u003eA Corner in Wheat \u003c\/i\u003e(1909) and \u003ci\u003eHome, Sweet Home\u003c\/i\u003e (1914). Moving behind the camera, he became a favorite of Mary Pickford's, directing her in \u003ci\u003eCinderella\u003c\/i\u003e (1914) and \u003ci\u003eFanchon the Cricket\u003c\/i\u003e (1915). Despite this, he would continue acting well into the 1950s. His son, James Kirkwood, Jr., was the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of \u003ci\u003eA Chorus Line\u003c\/i\u003e. Considered \"the greatest dramatic actress\" by Erich von Stroheim, ZaSu Pitts would star in the director's epic \u003ci\u003eGreed\u003c\/i\u003e (1924) after completing this film. Finding the transition to talkies difficult (her scenes in \u003ci\u003eAll Quiet on the Western Front\u003c\/i\u003e in 1930 were deleted), Pitts developed a spinster persona that served her well in comedy roles for decades in everything from \u003ci\u003eLife with Father\u003c\/i\u003e (1947) to \u003ci\u003eThe Gale Storm Show\u003c\/i\u003e (1956-1960). Madge Bellamy is best known for the Bela Lugosi horror picture \u003ci\u003eWhite Zombie\u003c\/i\u003e (1932). Big-budget films like \u003ci\u003eSecrets of the Night \u003c\/i\u003ewere called \"Universal Jewel Productions\" in hopes of justifying higher ticket prices. This ploy actually proved to discourage audiences, and Carl Laemmle did away with the practice in 1929.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45802336551062,"sku":"089218792891","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218792891.jpg?v=1762193947","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/secrets-of-the-night-silent","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
