Blackmail is a 1920 American silent drama film directed by Dallas M. Fitzgerald and starring Viola Dana, Alfred Allen, and Wyndham Standing.[1] The film reverses the typical vampire plot of the early silent film period by having the seductive woman, after her marriage, being blackmailed by the rich men she formerly preyed upon.[1]
