While the City Sleeps

There is a police officer in New York. He is a hard man. He has been after one criminal for years. The man’s name is known and so are his crimes. Every time, though, a witness appears. The witness says he was somewhere else. The file closes on that. The officer knows it is not true. He is certain the man did what he is accused of. What he does not have is anything to show it. The film is built on that pursuit. It was made at the end of the silent era. Lon Chaney, Anita Page, Carroll Nye and Wheeler Oakman appear in the sixty six minute film. Mae Busch is in the cast as well, an American production Jack Conway finished in 1928.
