Wiki.
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.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.
