Product Information

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 new and highly influential aesthetic to American movies.The film stars Veidt as Gwynplaine, the son of an aristocrat who is kidnapped for political reasons before being disfigured by a gypsy surgeon, who leaves the boy's face paralyzed in a contorted smile. Finding refuge in a traveling theatre troupe, Gwynplaine's lineage is eventually discovered and he soon finds himself being pulled back into the social and political world he was taken from as a boy. Featuring a masterful performance from Veidt along with beautiful and haunting photography, THE MAN WHO LAUGHS is one of the silent era's great horror films.

Very Pleased With Film
I had some misgivings about purchasing this DVD. I have never paid so much for a used DVD before. I am however, extremely happy that I took a chance on this vintage film. Someone whose opinion I value, had suggested I try to get a copy of it. Anyone who places value on fine silent movies would have to rate this one at the top. Conrad Veldt is wonderful in this. For someone who mainly connected him With disagreeable nazi roles, this was an eye opener that led to some serious research into the really fine actor who died far too soon. The plot captures the viewer in the very beginning and never lets go. The film is an excellent copy, very clean and clear in my opinion, and you almost forget that it is a silent movie. The film is that good. The final thought I came away with is this...sometimes the damaged face can hide great beauty inside and sometimes evil and cruelty can not be disguised no matter how handsome or lovely the face may be.
