# While London Sleeps (1926)

1926 · Crime · United States


## Synopsis

While London Sleeps is a silent 1926 Warner Bros. film about a police-dog, Rinty, who helps Scotland Yard defeat a dangerous criminal organisation known as the Mediterranean Brotherhood that operates out of the Limehouse district of London. Walter Morosco wrote the screenplay. It was the first of many films directed by Howard Bretherton, and one of several created for Rin Tin Tin, a German Shepherd dog used in films during the 1920s and 1930s. The film appears to be lost. The British release prints censored the more horrific aspects of the film.
