The Man Under the Bed

We all remember the boy who cried wolf so often that when the wolf really did come the people did not believe it. Little Billy must never have heard this, or had forgotten it. His sisters Martha and Jane are very fearful of burglars entering their room, and their little brother decides to play a joke on them.

Directed by —, The Man Under the Bed leans on a strong ensemble — Zena Keefe, Adele DeGarde, Kenneth Casey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1912.
