"Gwynplaine, son of Lord Clancharlie, has a permanent smile carved on his face by the King, in revenge for Gwynplaine's father's treachery"

I rented this because someone told me the main character in the film was the inspiration for "The Joker" from the 1960's "Batman and Robin".
He was'nt kidding.
Excellent, if you can catch it.

This is one of my favorite dramatic silents. It should not be missed.
