The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog

Gainsborough Pictures

Crime Drama

Everyone is talking about a murderer, but it's a silent, so we can't hear them.  I thought the policeman was going to turn out to be the killer, especially after his creepy (title-card) line about liking blondes as much as "the Avenger" does, but apparently not according to the Wikipedia synopsis.  I tuned out before Ivor Novello showed up as the lodger.  This is based on the novel (and play) by Marie Belloc Lowndes.
