    A great documentary about the man who played in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Phantom of the Opera, and a host of others. This was a very thorough documentary with interviews collected and made for this film. It covered his techniques for creating the faces that he did as well as ...( read more)exploring the possibility that he was so expressive with his face because he was the son of two deaf parents. Anyone who has an interest in silent film, especially silent horrors from the US should enjoy this.

    Lon Chaney Sr. was great, but Lon Chaney Jr. was mediocre at best!

    Can't beat the Classic Horror movies!

    A cinemography showing many clips (many "lost") and concentrating on his work rather than personal life.
