The Sealed Room

Based On the book by Honoré de Balzac

The Sealed Room (also known as The Sealed Door) is an eleven-minute film released in September 1909. Produced by the Biograph Company and directed by D. W. Griffith, the drama's cast includes Arthur V. Johnson, Marion Leonard, Henry B. Walthall, Mary Pickford, and Mack Sennett. It was distributed to theaters on a split-reel with another film, the three-minute comedy short The Little Darling. The story draws from Honoré de Balzac's La Grande Bretêche and Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado, both of which inspired the film's central theme of immurement.
