The Man Who Laughs: The Forgotten Universal Classic

Forgotten Universal classic The Man Who Laughs is the lynchpin bridging horror's past and Universal's golden age and its lead character the inspiration for Batman's most famous nemesis The Joker. Starring Conrad Veidt and directed by Paul Leni, the silent romantic body horror melodrama is well worth a look.

Summary: Forever disfigured by a wide and mirthless grin on his face, the orphaned son of a nobleman, Gwynplaine, rescues the blind baby-girl, Dea, in cold seventeenth-century England. Taken in by the paternal carnival philosopher, Ursus, the unloved boy grows into a kind and honest man who chooses, however, to hide his grotesque deformity behind a black cloak, utterly convinced that the beautiful Dea will never truly love him because of his horrible secret. Feeling unworthy of Dea's noble feelings, Gwynplaine will soon cross paths with the aristocratic temptress, Duchess Josiana, as a cruel and long-standing conspiracy in the palace of Queen Anne presents him with the burden of choice. Will poor Gwynplaine, the Man who Laughs, renounce everything in the name of love?
