The Bat is a 1926 American silent comedy mystery film directed by Roland West and starring Jack Pickford and Louise Fazenda. The film is based on the 1920 Broadway hit play The Bat by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood.

Production

The Bat film is adapted from the play The Bat by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood. The play was based on Rinehart's own 1908 mystery novel The Circular Staircase, which had been filmed in 1915 by the Selig Polyscope Company.

The film was directed and adapted to screen by Roland West. Among the cast was Jewel Carmen, who West had met in 1918.

West had his cast work at night, stating that "Given the quiet of the studio at midnight, when no other companies are working, and plenty of spooky music from an orchestra, the players really are in a mood to simulate dark deeds." According to William Bakewell, who worked with West on The Bat Whispers, West worked at night to avoid dealing with studio executives.
