Norman Bel Geddes Database
Job 119, Pit and the Pendulum, 1927, 1947
Summary: Bel Geddes's scenarios and sketches for a projected film (not produced) were used in preparation for his autobiography (Miracle in the Evening, 1960, pages 323-326). On the scheduled day of shooting he postponed the film, being in a depressed state at his wife's leaving him. He revived the project idea in 1947 but the film was never made.
