You'd Be Surprised (film)

You'd Be Surprised is a 1926 American silent comedy mystery film directed by Monty Banks and starring Raymond Griffith, Erin La Breen, and Edward Martindel. The screenplay was written by Lewis Milestone, based on a story by George Ade. The film is known for its comedic take on the classic whodunit plot, featuring Griffith as a corpse who narrates the events surrounding his own apparent murder. The plot revolves around a group of eccentric suspects gathered at a mansion, each with their own possible motives. While generally considered a minor work in the careers of those involved, You'd Be Surprised is often noted for its early example of self-aware humor and its playful subversion of genre conventions. The film is currently considered lost.
