Starring Lon Chaney
Black & White; Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English

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.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Chaney's talent exposed!
Lon Chaney's ability to capture an audience is displayed in this marvellous collection from TCM. "Ace of Hearts," "Laugh, Clown, Laugh" and "The Unknown" clearly give audiences a thorough idea of Chaney's acting and makeup expetise. The TCM documentary fills in the gaps of Chaney's career. Please give us a sequel to this wonderful collection. Chuck Crouch

5 stars Excellent hist. & bio film on an underappreciated star
When I originally thought of Lon Chaney I think about the Phantom of the Opera. I never know what he really looked like without his makeup but on this disc you see him and glimpses of his family life. Here is an actor that was truly a master. He did his own makeup and at a time when movies were silent his facial expression carried the plot along. His work with Todd Browning is excellent. Even though the films are silent they can still be enjoyed today. Special effects today just can not beat truly good acting with such limited resources!

This horror classic was produced by Universal (beginning that studio's string of brilliant horror movies) in response to the success of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. Universal chose two luminaries of German Expressionism, director Paul Leni and actor Conrad Veidt, for the film and in doing so introduced a ...

When released theatrically in 1932, FREAKS was met with near universal disgust by critics and audiences alike, lasting in theatres for only a short time in the states and banned in England. The film stars Harry Earles as Hans, a suave midget who belongs to the sideshow of a seedy circus and who makes the mistake of falling in love with the beautiful Cleopatra, one of the "normal" circus performers. Learning that Hans is about to inherit a fortune, Cleopatra agrees to marry Hans even though she abhors him, planning to steal ...

The grisly and debauched film PATHOLOGY is a juiced-up medical thriller that plays like FLATLINERS with a mean streak and a broken moral compass. Writers Mark Nelvedine and Brian Taylor have created a premise allowing for CSI-like forensics along with heaps of sex and violence, truly making the most of the film's R-rating. A high-end exploitation film with good performances, PATHOLOGY is strong enough for horror fans and should go down smoothly for non-squeamish viewers with a taste for the dark side. Gifted med student Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia, HEROES) arrives at a major Washington, D.C., as an intern, where he is met with suspicion and resentment by the tightly knit group of fellow young pathologists-in-training. Soon, though, Ted is accepted into their circle---where they each take turns committing a murder so that the others may prove their mettle by figuring out the cause of death and celebrate with drug-fueled orgies among the dead bodies in the hospital. Things change for Ted, though, when his law student fiancée, Gwen (Alyssa Milano), moves to the city and helps to scare him straight. Soon, crazed Wallace Stevens-quoting leader Jake ...

Dermot Morgan, Ardal O'Hanlon, Frank Kelly, Pauline McLynn, Tony Guilfoyle, Patrick Drury - Dir:Declan Lowney The irreverent BritCom has been called "undoubtedly the finest comedy about three Catholic priests stuck on a tiny island off the Irish coast ever made." Features all six episodes of the highly-acclaimed premiere season, in which the trio's shaky grasp on reality is challenged by such things as the arrival of the world's worst funfair and the All Priests Stars-In-Their-Eyes Competition. This set compiles six side-splitting episodes from the legendary first season of FATHER TED, featuring the comedic exploits of three Irish priests and their hellion housekeeper, all exiled to the Parochial ...
