The Man Who Laughs 1928 Based on the Victor Hugo novel The Man Who Laughs, screenplay by J Grubb Alexander, Walter Anthony, Mary McLean and Charles E Whittaker, directed by Paul Leni. A silent film with synchronized soundtrack and sound effects.
In a complicated story that smiley guy hooks up with that blind lady. That's Conrad Veidt and Mary Philbin. It's 17th Century England where they are, there's plenty of miserable times before Conrad's life turns around.
It's a movie I wouldn't usually bother with but I usually like Conrad Veidt. He's fine here. I've seen a handful of his movies but hardly any of his silent films. You can check it out on YouTube. It's a film that recently became Public Domain.
