The Hand of Peril is a 1916 American silent crime film directed by Maurice Tourneur and starring House Peters, June Elvidge and Ralph Delmore. [1]
The film's sets were designed by the art director Ben Carré.
On January 23, 1916, Tourneur was given the scenario for a film based on Arthur Stringer's 1915 novel The Hand of Peril. [2]
As the film required showing action in multiple rooms at the same time, a three-story house with nine rooms was constructed on the Paragon Studios lot in Fort Lee, New Jersey. [3] An abandoned pier in South Brooklyn was completely reconstructed for use in the film. [2]
In a review published in Billboard , the cast were praised for their "capable" acting and the film was praised for the "high quality" of photography and direction. [1]
