The Sealed Room
Directed by D.W. Griffith
Produced by Biograph Company
A dark, claustrophobic tale of jealousy and betrayal set in a castle, where a sealed room becomes a tomb for infidelity and revenge.
The Count sets out to make a private room for him and his Countess, built in such a way no one can see, hear, and most importantly, disturb them. But unbeknownst to the Count, his wife has set her eyes on the court minstrel. Based on Edgar Allan Poe's “The Cask of Amontillado” and Honoré de Balzac's “La Grande Breteche”.
