While New York Sleeps (1920) is a crime drama produced by Fox Film Corporation and directed by Charles Brabin, who was the husband of actress Theda Bara. The film tells three distinct episodic stories using the same actors, Estelle Taylor and Marc McDermott. Long thought to be a lost film like many other Fox Film productions from this period, a copy of this movie is now in the collection of the UCLA Film and Television Archive.[1]

Reception
According to author Aubrey Solomon in The Fox Film Corporation 1915-35: A History and Filmography, this film was Fox's biggest moneymaker for the year 1920. However, that would seem to conflict with the enormous success of Fox's Over the Hill to the Poorhouse.
