This was the final film for director Edwards, who died the following year, and was one of the last produced at Fox Film's New York studio. Contemporary reviews were generally positive.

  • 《法律如此》(英語:It Is the Law)是1924年的美国无声悬念片,由执导,、和莫娜·帕尔玛主演,根据1922年的同名舞台剧改编,舞台剧本則是改编自海登·塔尔伯特的小说。影片讲述贾斯汀·维克多(海耶斯饰)和阿尔伯特·伍德拉夫(霍尔饰)都爱上露丝·艾伦(帕尔玛饰),艾伦最终与维克多成婚。伍德拉夫怀恨在心,杀害相貌与自己很像的流浪汉来陷害维克多犯有谋杀罪。维克多入狱后,伍德拉夫伪造身份向艾伦求爱,但化妆被她看穿。维克多出狱并杀害伍德拉夫,因为他此前已经被控谋杀伍德拉夫,现在即便当众杀人也不犯法,政府受双重审判条款限制无法起诉。 导演爱德华兹在1925年去世,《法律如此》是他的遗作,也是福克斯电影公司纽约制片厂制作的最后八部电影之一,上映后获得普遍好评。如今,本片与福克斯公司大部分早期作品一样,很可能已因1937年福克斯金库火灾在历史长河消失。 (zh)
