(1928) Conrad Veidt, Mary Philbin, Julius Molnar, Olga Baclanova. In addition to the original B&W version of this amazing film, you’ll also receive a brand new tinted edition as well. It looks great, too! Outside of Casablanca, this is probably the role that Veidt is remembered for most. Veidt, as Gwynplaine, is a side show freak, abused by society and royalty. He is lured into the perverse plot of an evil duchess, but will he stay true to his love of a pretty young blind girl? The Man Who Laughs is routinely classified as a horror film, yet its primary horror elements are its atmosphere and the various shots of Veidt’s bizarre face, which inspired Bob Kane’s creation of the Joker. Still, it’s a true classic and a film that any fan of vintage horror or silent movies should see. Silent w/original music/effects score. 35mm.
