''The Dungeon'' is a 1922 race film directed, written, produced and distributed by Oscar Micheaux. The film focuses on an African American woman who is coerced into marrying a corrupt would-be politician. When she discovers that her husband has conspired to support segregationist policies in exchange for support by white political power brokers, she is imprisoned in a secret dungeon where her husband had murdered his previous wives.〔(“Within Our Gates: Ethnicity in American Feature Films, 1911-1960” by Alan Gevinson, University of California Press, 1997, ISBN 0-520-20964-8 )〕 Micheaux was criticized by D. Ireland Thomas, a columnist with the ''Chicago Defender'', for his casting of light-skinned African Americans. Thomas questioned whether Micheaux was "relying on his name alone to tell the public that it is a race production; or maybe he is after booking it in white theaters.”〔(“Overview – The Dungeon,” AllMovie/New York Times )〕 No print of the film is known to exist and it is presumed to be a lost film.〔(“Progressive Silent Film List: The Dungeon,”SilentEra.com )〕 ==Cast== * William Fountaine * Shingzie Howard * J.
