I saw that but by the time I turned it on it had finished and the next one had started.
The next one was with Mabel Normand. She was in love with the director William Desmond Taylor. Interesting read about this murder was A Cast of Killers, by Sidney D. Kirkpatrick. If you like silent films read this book. Very interesting.
“In 1967, more than forty years after Taylor’s death, the great King Vidor, whose directing credits include Northwest Passage, The Fountainhead, Duel in the Sun, and War and Peace, determined to solve the mystery, which had haunted him throughout his career, in order to make a film about it. Through his intimate knowledge of both the studios and the stars, he succeeded, where dozens of professional detectives had failed, in discovering the identity of the murderer. But because his findings were so explosive, he decided he could never go public and locked his evidence away. After Vidor’s death in 1982, Sidney D. Kirkpatrick, Vidor’s authorized biographer, gained access to the evidence and reconstructed the amazing story of Taylor’s murder and Vidor’s investigation”.
