''One Exciting Night'' is a 1922 American Gothic silent Mystery film directed by D. W. Griffith.〔(The AFI Catalog of Feature Films:''One Exciting Night'' )〕 The plot revolves around the murder of a bootlegger and the attempts of the cast to uncover the true murderer. The film, inspired by the Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood play ''The Bat'' (1920), led to the production of similar "murder mystery/old dark house" films such as ''The Ghost Breaker'' (1922), previously filmed by C. B. DeMille in 1914, ''The Bat'' (1926) based on the play, ''Midnight Faces'' (1926), ''The Cat and the Canary'' (1927), ''The Old Dark House'' (1932) and even the fabled ''London After Midnight'' (1927) with Lon Chaney.〔''The American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films: 1921-30'' c.1971 by The American Film Institute〕 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''. ==Cast== * Carol Dempster as Agnes Harrington * Henry Hull as John Fairfax * Morgan Wallace as J.
