I just saw the Lon Chaney Collection (The Ace of Hearts – Laugh, Clown, Laugh – The Unknown, plus the documentary: Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces).
Well, I loved The Unknown. It is a true masterpiece. On of the best films I have ever seen.
I really liked the Ace of Hearts. Nice plot with some interesting shots and nice message. I just wish that they had tried to restore the film. It was in terrible shape.
I didn’t care so much for Laugh, Clown, Laugh. To much mellow drama and I don’t believe that anyone could encourage a relationship that is in fact based on incest (he raised her up as his daughter, so he was like her father, and the only parent she knew). And the psychological theories about laughing and crying because of love or lack of love was just silly.
The documentary was quite nice.

Seen the Unknown and it’s an absolutly brilliant film. One of my favorites.
Ace of Spades was really good too… I espeically liked the scene where Chaney was standing in the rain. Overall, good film.
Haven’t seen Laugh Clown Laugh, but sounds really interesting (and dare i say it, good). Haha but i like that sort of thing. Ever seen Viridiana??
Peace.
