All Night is a 1918 American silent comedy-drama film directed by Paul Powell and starring Carmel Myers and Rudolph Valentino (credited as Rudolpho di Valentina).

[2][3] Richard Thayer, a shy, unassuming man (Valentino), is in love with a sheltered young woman, Elizabeth ("Beth") Lane (Myers).

While the feelings are mutual and Richard wishes to propose, he can never find a moment to speak to Beth alone—she is constantly surrounded by admirers and her overprotective father (Wadsworth Harris).

Richard explains his predicament to his friends, young married couple William and Maude Harcourt (Charles Dorian and Mary Warren).

The scheme initially works, but things quickly deteriorate when Bradford, an eccentric, overbearing man, starts flirting with Maude Harcourt and insisting that Richard and Beth turn in for the night.

"[4] By contrast, the reviewer Robert C. McElravy wrote in the December 7, 1918 edition of The Moving Picture World that, "The production as a whole fails to live up to its possibilities for some reason that is difficult to understand.

Speaking specifically on the efforts of William Dyer in the role of Bradford, it was thought that he "struggles hard to put the character over, but it never quite reaches the point of conviction.
