About Seven Keys to Baldpate
A writer bets a publisher friend that he can write a 10,000-word novel in 24 hours. The publisher takes the bet, and gives him the "only key" to his Baldpate Inn, which has been closed for the winter, so he can write in complete seclusion. Things start heating up, though, when a succession of people who also have keys to the inn begin showing up.
Directed by Hugh Ford, Seven Keys to Baldpate leans on a strong ensemble — George M. Cohan, Anna Q. Nilsson, Hedda Hopper — 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 thriller titles of 1917.
