Lon Chaney: Before the Thousand Faces Volume 2

LON CHANEY: BEFORE THE THOUSAND FACES - VOL. 2 contains five more rare dramatic silent films from 1914-1917 in which Lon Chaney has a supporting role, selected by Chaney historian Jon Mirsalis. Lon Chaney's film work from the 1920s is well-known and- with the exception of the notoriously lost A Blind Bargain (1922) and London After Midnight (1927) - is mostly available on home video. In contrast, only 24 of the 111 films Chaney made at Universal in the 'teens survive, and only about 13 are complete. ••• The films on this set have been curated from the Library of Congress and private collections; missing scenes and titles have been reconstructed where possible, and new musical scores have been created for each by Jon C. MIrsalis. The films on this 2-disc set: BY THE SUN'S RAYS (1914) - THE OUBLIETTE (1914) - THE MILLIONAIRE PAUPERS (1915) - TRIUMPH (1917) - THE SCARLET CAR (1917). DVD is NTSC, Region-free.
