Unseen Hands is a 1924 American silent horror film directed by Jacques Jaccard and starring Wallace Beery, Joseph J. Dowling and Fontaine La Rue.[1] This was apparently the only horror film Jaccard directed, although he made over 80 (mostly action and Western) films from 1914 to 1936. It was also producer Walker Coleman Graves Jr.'s only screenwriting credit.[2]
Plot
Jean Scholast (Beery) makes a favorable impression on a wealthy businessman's wife (La Rue), and she gets her husband George Le Quintrec to hire him. Scholast works his way into the millionaire's life, stealing his wife and his fortune, and eventually murdering the old man. He later begins to experience hallucinations involving the ghost of the murdered man, and in the end, he is frightened to death by the apparition out in the desert.[3]
