The Net (1923 film)

The Net is a 1923 American silent melodrama film directed by J. Gordon Edwards and starring Barbara Castleton, Raymond Bloomer, and Albert Roscoe.

Bruce commits murder and convinces Allayne to help him blame the crime on a man suffering from amnesia (Roscoe).

In an effort to avoid the consequences of his actions, Bruce places his identifying documents in the man's pockets, then flees the studio with Allayne and their son.

The police are unable to determine what has occurred, but identify the man as Bruce Norman based on the planted papers, and send him to what they presume to be his home, in the hope that the presence of family will aid the return of his memory.

Fearing the truth would result in her son being known as the child of a murderer, Allayne identifies the man as her husband while Bruce remains in hiding.

[9] Channing Pollock praised the quality of the production and cast, which included Claire Whitney, but found elements of the story unconvincing.

In January, the studio claimed that director J. Gordon Edwards was "screening the final scenes" and set a February 25 release date.
