It was an early highlight in a career that usually found Huntley playing the "other man" in such 1920s potboilers as Backbone (1923), Second Youth (1924) (with Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, and A Social Celebrity (1926). In the sound era, Huntley is perhaps best remembered as the banker's son in The Bat Whispers (1930), a role played by Arthur Housman in the original, silent version, The Bat (1926). His roles got increasingly smaller thereafter and he seems to have left films in the very early '40s. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
