Summary |
Blackmail: Rebelling against the possessiveness of her police boyfriend, a young woman agrees to pose for an artist. Resisting his advances, she ends up murdering him in self-defense. Her boyfriend is assigned to the case, and soon learns the killer's identity, but so has someone else ... winding up in a dramatic chase around the British Museum. Originally begun as a silent film, it was decided mid-production to make both a silent and a sound version; in the sound version, Ondra's accented voice was dubbed over by English actress Joan Barry |
|
Sabotage: London theater owner Carl Verloc is a quiet man who would not hurt anyone, or maybe not. As the city is rocked by terrorist attacks, Carl's wife begins to suspect that her husband is not who he seems. As she edges closer to the truth, Scotland Yard moves in and a mysterious package is entrusted to an innocent boy. This sets the stage for terrifying destruction |
