Het Geheim Van Den Vuurtoren
''The Secret of Delft'' ( nl, Het geheim van den vuurtoren) is a 1916 Dutch black and white silent crime film directed by Maurits Binger. The movie was also sold to France, where it was titled ''Le Secret du Phare''. Only fragments of the original movie survived and are being kept in the Dutch Cinema Museum ( Nederlands Filmuseum).

There was a witness to the assault, named Van Oort, who blackmails Van Norden and his wife. If they pay hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
