The Red Mill is a 1927 American silent comedy film directed by Roscoe Arbuckle (as William Goodrich) that starred Marion Davies and was produced by King Vidor.[2] Although Arbuckle was acquitted in the third trial for the death of Virginia Rappe, he could not obtain work in Hollywood under his own name, so he adopted the pseudonym William Goodrich for directing the comedy shorts he made under his contract with Educational Film Exchanges.[3]
