The Cinema Murder

The Cinema Murder, originally titled The Other Romilly, showcases Edward Phillips Oppenheim's pioneering contribution to spy fiction, featuring the archetype of the "rogue male." Published in 1917, this novel encapsulates adventure and intrigue, reflecting Oppenheim's prolific output of over 150 diverse works. The story was significant enough to inspire a silent film adaptation in 1919, starring Marion Davies, although the movie has since been lost.
