Who agrees that it is appauling or disgusting that all Lon Chaney has for a major motion picture tribute is the James Cagney film from 1957? Who is with me for a remake of that film starring Joe Pilato as Lon Chaney?
Great video, very well done and professional! Lon Chaney was such a great actor it's such a terrible shame that he died so young. He would've had another brilliant career in the talkie movies. The most gifted actor to have ever been on screen.
Amazing work, thanks for this tribute. Is that Lionel Barrymore with Chaney at 4:03? I can't tell, did they ever make a picture together? Great photos from London After Midnight, its a tragedy that its currently a lost film. I hope that one of these days it turns up, and TCM airs it, that would truly be something to behold
@basilnelson That has to be why Tod Browning cast Lionel in so many similar roles that Lon played such as the detective in the LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT remake; MARK OF THE VAMPIRE and as an old woman similar to THE UNHOLY THREE in THE DEVIL DOLL.
Great job. Too bad you don't re-due it by replacing the mummy images with the Hunchback character he did. Besides that, I'm impressed. A very professional job.
What a talent and a gift he was! And what a beautiful tribute! And such touching music.

That mummy was not Lon Chaney Sr. That was his son.

Yes, it is Lionel Barrymore with Lon Chaney. They both appeared in 'West of Zanzibar' (1928) and privately they were great friends.

@basilnelson Yes, and Lionel Barrymore was also good friends with Boris Karloff, who claimed that Lionel was a greater actor than John.

Very nicely done, but Lon Chaney, Sr. didn't play the Mummy, his son did. And missing was Lon Chaney as Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Lots of great stills from Chaney's lost film London After Midnight. Thanks for this professional tribute.

A great tribute BAZ. Lon was a true master of his craft and died way too young.
