This tribute to one of the most versatile character stars of the silent era gets a fine presentation for its release on DVD. =The Lon Chaney Collection features an hour-long documentary on Chaney's career, Lon Chaney: A Thousand Faces (narrated by Kenneth Branagh), a photographic reconstruction of London After Midnight, Chaney's fabled "lost" thriller, and three rare Chaney vehicles, The Ace of Hearts, Laugh, Clown, Laugh, and The Unknown. The material has been transferred to disc in the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. The narration for the documentary and the intertitles for the silent features are presented in English; the disc includes optional subtitles in French and Spanish, as well as closed captioning in English. As a bonus, the disc also includes a gallery of rare stills and alternate audio commentary tracks. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
