Five years before our story begins, wealthy Englishman Roger Balfour committed suicide at his country estate. But there are those in his family who harbor dark suspicions… especially in light of the new tenants… who you’ll meet soon enough.

Originally directed by Tod Browning and starring Lon Chaney, the last known print of "London After Midnight", long considered the holy grail of silent films, was destroyed in the MGM fire of 1965. Now the Bijou presents a special "screening" of this lost classic... and you're invited.
