3.0 out of 5 stars Waiting for Brownlow and Gill, July 30, 2000

This review is from: Lon Chaney: Behind the Mask [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I had been waiting for Kevin Brownlow and David Gill to get to Chaney. After all they have done the best work on the other geniuses of the silent era, it seemed only natural that they would tackle the premier actor of the time. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Instead we are left with this mish-mosh which is little more than excerpts from the Kino catalogue slapped together with no rhyme or reason and annoying narrative full of fatuous pseudo-psychological insights with no apparent research to back them up.The lone bright spot is the appearance of very rare footage of Chaney off-camera. Too bad it couldn't have found a better home.
