CrimeDramaMysteryRomanceThriller77 min

Richard Conte is an independent producer whose plan to make a film about the unsolved 1929 murder of a famous silent director turns into an investigation of its own. The deeper he digs into the case, the more his project stirs up old studio secrets and nervous reactions from people connected to Hollywood’s past. Julie Adams and Richard Egan are among the figures circling the reopened mystery as the story moves through backlots, faded careers, and the shadow of the silent era.
