"The Undercurrent was a 1919 American silent directed by Wilfrid North, produced by Guy Empey, distributed by Select Pictures. It is based on a story by Arthur Guy Empey and though fictional, is considered a sequel to Over the Top which was a 1918 movie loosely based on his autobiographical book of the same name about his own experiences in the British Army in World War I.The Undercurrent at the American Film Institute: Catalog of Feature Films The New York City premier was held at the Capitol Theatre and was attended by General John J.

In the November 14, 1919 issue of Variety, Charlie Chaplin found it necessary to state "I am absolutely cold on the Bolshevism theme; neither am I interested in Socialism" in order to allay fears of where his sympathies lay in regards to the making of Red Scare films.Anthony Slide, American Racist: The Life and films of Thomas Dixon (The University Press of Kentucky) 2004, pg. 137.
