Long before teams of technicians used computers to bring monsters and superheroes to the screen, one man equipped with little more than a makeup kit and a remarkable acting talent dazzled moviegoers with his ability to transform himself into all manner of men, monsters and outcasts. That man was Lon Chaney. This 2-Disc Chaney celebration includes three of his major works.

The Ace of Hearts: A tale of murderous intrigue.Laugh, Clown, Laugh: Chaney as a love-smitten circus clown, and The Unknown: Where Chaney is a armless knife thrower. These are in their most complete surviving versions. Narrated by Kenneth Branagh, Turner Classic Movies' compelling documentary Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces explores Chaney's diverse career and very private personal life. They are a few of this genius's thousand faces--faces that continue to amaze and entertain
 


Editor's Note

One of the most prolific, widely celebrated actors in history, Lon Chaney used nothing more than a small make-up kit and an uncanny knack for changing faces to succeed during the silent film era. This collection presents three of his more memorable films--THE ACE OF HEARTS; LAUGH, CLOWN, LAUGH; and THE UNKNOWN--as well as Turner Classic Movies' special documentary, LON CHANEY: A THOUSAND FACES. See individual titles for detailed descriptions.
