Comment
To ride to success his beloved young lyric singer, a deformed musician won’t stop himself neither in front  blackmail and assasination. After being really fascinated by her protector, once discovered his face, she’ll escape him. He will die drowned in the Sein, massacred by a ferocious crowd. Authentic masterwork of mute cienma, was its first filmed version of a prolific tradition. Unforgettable the scene in which Chaney incomes in the clothes of the Red Death, with mask of skull and a elegant plumed hat,
in the theatre ballroom.
