“London After Midnight” starring Lon Chaney – A Rare Still!
I continue to hold out hope that someday a print of London After Midnight will be found. London After Midnight starred Lon Chaney, was directed and co-produced by Tod Browning. There is no known copy of the film (the last known print was destroyed in a fire in the 1960s) and is considered to be the most “sought-after” lost film. From WikipediA…
London After Midnight (also marketed as The Hypnotist) is a lost 1927 American silent mystery film with horror overtones directed and co-produced by Tod Browning and starring Lon Chaney, with Marceline Day, Conrad Nagel, Henry B. Walthall and Polly Moran. The film was distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and was based on the scenario “The Hypnotist”, also written by Browning.
I truly hope that a copy of the film is found for fans, like me, to see.
