A great documentary which may FINALLY show Chaney in the proper context!, 4 January 2002
Author: jhpx3 from No. Billerica, MA

This was a great documentary with excellent interviews and clips; could have done without Branagh though. This docu seems to finally remove the taboo labeling of horror star from Lon; showing the casual viewer that he made many, many , many more films that merely Phantom & Hunchback; and that a horror star he WAS NOT. Can't wait for it to come out on DVD. A
