I read somewhere that such multilations to the face were common among beggers looking for a means to make people feel sorry for them or at least scare people into giving them donations.
I think your title is misleading, because you have a lot of photos from The Man Who Laughs, and he is in no way a menace in that movie. In fact, I he is more of a sympathetic character in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari as well, not really a villain. And most definitely not a menace.
Thanks for all the great performances Conrad! You were amazing!
he was so handsome...i remember when i first saw the cabinet of dr. caligari i was mesmerized by this statuesque beautiful man. i don't think anyone could've played the parts he did and make them likable. gwynplaine could've just been a frankstein's monster, a source for terror, but instead he was a child (with his dog) and you really felt for him. why don't we have actors like this today?
on 0.33 he kinda looks like batman's enemy the old guy who runs that worldwide assasin guild... forgot his name... anyway was it also based on that conrad veidt's character? and can u tell me what movie that was? Thnx
HE WAS HOT. but aside from that he always seemed to lend a genuine humanity to his characters that was scarcely executed effectively in the melodrama of silent movies.
Whether or not people know his name, to a hundred million comic book fans, Conrad Veidt lives on.

A true talent! The inspiration for the Joker!
So tragic that a fatal heart attack took him right as his star was rising in America; after 'The Thief of Baghdad', 'Casablanca' & 'Above Suspicion'.

At 0:35 he looks like Tina Turner.
What's love got to do with it?

Well, the picture at 0:35 was not a good one... But he is still the most beautiful man in the world.

Don't forget "Different from the Others", probably the first movie that deals with a homosexual relationship in a rather sympathetic way.

I think that's from "The Last Performance". I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Ras Al Ghoul.

@Jorzn84 the joker (batman's nemesis) was based off of gwynplain from the man who laughs

Veidt's depiction of Gwynplaine in "The Man who Laughs" was the main inspiration for the Joker.
Awesome.
