Review #330: Laugh, Clown, Laugh.
Cast
Lon Chaney (Tito/Flik), Loretta Young (Simonetta), Nils Asther (Count Luigi Ravelli), Bernard Siegel (Simon), Cissy Fitzgerald (Giacinta), and Gwen Lee (Lucretia) Directed by Herbert Brenon.
Review
Lon Chaney was one of the prime silent film stars long ago, being a lot of roles like the Hunchback to even the Phantom, giving him the name of "The Man of a Thousand Faces". And he does a a great job for his first appearance here (With his son being reviewed in #260 - The Wolf Man), managing to do a great job to convey his feeling al into his face. The rest of the cast do a decent job, conveying their feelings decently. It's a strange, yet sad film, with a circus feel that brings a bit of joy. It's a decent film that has a mostly short runtime (Lasting mostly over an hour), giving some sort of entertainment.
Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars
