This film has beautiful acting, not only by Lon Chaney, but also by Mary Philbin. However, the plot can be rather confusing, specially for those who are unfamiliar with the novel. The production of the film had some problems and filming was remade some times. Thus, despite being a carefully made film, the excessive melodrama, which was into fashion in big Hollywood studios on late 1920s, hindered the smooth flow of film.
This site is dedicated to the preservation of memory of silent films. Although they were quite important in the evolution of cinema, they remain virtually forgotten nowadays. Since the best way to understand the present is taking an attentive look at the past, here you have some movies, pictures, interviews, etc. on silent cinema. Some occasional material on sound films will also be presented. I hope you enjoy getting to know a bit more about the beauty and sheer fun of these golden oldies.
