Long before he became known as the "Man of a Thousand Faces," Lon Chaney quickly gained attention for being one of Hollywood's prominent character actors. Both Victory and The Wicked Darling are outstanding early examples of Chaney's unique talents in acting and makeup. Victory (1919), a visual treat from gifted director Maurice Tourneur, features Chaney as the villainous Ricardo who is out to steal not only another man's fortune, but also the lovely Seena Owen. The Wicked Darling (1919), a gritty crime melodrama, is the first of ten films Lon Chaney made with director Tod Browning. Long thought to be a lost film, The Wicked Darling was rediscovered in the last decade and is shown here for the first time in over eighty years. These two long-sought-after films allow viewers to see Lon Chaney in roles that won him the reputation of Hollywood's greatest character actor. |
