The Case of Becky is a 1921 American silent drama film based on a successful 1912 play written by David Belasco and Edward J. Locke, The Case of Becky.[2] Belasco also produced the play, which starred his muse, Frances Starr.
The film was produced by Realart Pictures, directed by Chester M. Franklin, written by J. Clarkson Miller and released through Paramount Pictures. George J. Folsey was the cinematographer.[1][3][4]
The play was filmed earlier (in 1915) in a version starring Blanche Sweet, which emphasized the horror elements.[1]
Montagu Love went on to star in several other silent horror films, The Haunted House (1929) and The Cat Creeps (1930).
