On January 23, 1916, Tourneur was given the scenario for a film based on Arthur Stringer's 1915 novel The Hand of Peril.[2]
As the film required showing action in multiple rooms at the same time, a three-story house with nine rooms was constructed on the Paragon Studios lot in Fort Lee, New Jersey.[3] An abandoned pier in South Brooklyn was completely reconstructed for use in the film.[2]
Receptionedit
In a review published in Billboard, the cast were praised for their "capable" acting and the film was praised for the "high quality" of photography and direction.[1]
