The House of Mystery

The House of Mystery

Rejissyor: Alexandre Volkoff, Ivan Mosjoukine. I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, along with other pictures of the era that I find interesting, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. This French film-serial was actually written and directed by Russian-born Alexandre Volkoff and was a critical and financial success upon release. It is a mystery series in which a man is betrayed by his friend and sent to prison for a murder he did not commit. While in prison, his betrayer makes moves to steal his wife as well. Modern viewers marvel at the scope and grandiosity of the picture, while praising the acting as well. An English subtitle track is included with the downloaded serial.
