Product Description: LON CHANEY: BEFORE THE THOUSAND FACES contains three early feature-length dramatic silent films, made 1915-16 for Universal, in which Lon Chaney has a supporting role. These films have never been available for fans and are seen here in new 2K scans of 35mm elements preserved by the Library of Congress. Because of their age and rarity, some nitrate decomposition is visible in these films. The films on this DVD were restored and scored by Jon C. Mirsalis. The films: A MOTHER'S ATONEMENT (1915) - IF MY COUNTRY SHOULD CALL (1916) - THE PLACE BEYOND THE WINDS (1916). BR is NTSC, Region-free. This product is an authorized manufactured on demand BD-R

LON CHANEY: BEFORE THE THOUSAND FACES - VOL. 2 contains five more rare dramatic silent films from 1914-1917 in which Lon Chaney has a supporting role, selected by Chaney historian Jon Mirsalis. Lon Chaney's film work from the 1920s is well-known and- with the exception of the notoriously lost A Blind Bargain (1922) and London After Midnight (1927) - is mostly available on home video. In contrast, only 24 of the 111 films Chaney made at Universal in the 'teens survive, and only about 13 are complete. ••• The films on this set have been curated from the Library of Congress and private collections; missing scenes and titles have been reconstructed where possible, and new musical scores have been created for each by Jon C. MIrsalis. The films on this 2-disc set: BY THE SUN'S RAYS (1914) - THE OUBLIETTE (1914) - THE MILLIONAIRE PAUPERS (1915) - TRIUMPH (1917) - THE SCARLET CAR (1917). Blu-ray is NTSC, Region-free.
