“The Bells” is a 1926 American silent crime film directed by James Young, starring Lionel Barrymore and Boris Karloff. The film is based on the 1867 French play “Le Juif Polonais (The Polish Jew)” by Erckmann-Chatrian, which was later adapted into English as “The Bells” in 1871. The story follows Mathias, an innkeeper who dreams of becoming burgomaster of his town. Deep in debt, he murders a wealthy Polish Jew who stays at his inn, stealing his gold. Though Mathias pays off his debts and secures his position, he is haunted by the sound of bells and visions of his victim. When the man’s brother arrives with a mesmerist to uncover the truth, Mathias is tormented by his guilt until he ultimately confesses and collapses. The film is praised for its psychological tension and Barrymore’s gripping performance.
