The Woman in White is a 1929 British silent mystery film directed by Herbert Wilcox (whose main career was as a producer)[2] and starring Blanche Sweet, Haddon Mason and Cecil Humphreys.[2] It was written by Robert Cullen and Herbert Wilcox, based on the 1859 mystery novel The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.[2]

The film was made at Cricklewood Studios in London and was the first British film version of the novel. Some sources disagree on whether the film was actually made in England or in Scotland, however.[2]
