London After Midnight (MGM, 1927). Lobby Card
<B>London After Midnight (MGM, 1927).</B></I> Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Of all the films with the great Lon Chaney, perhaps none are so intriguing as <I>London After Midnight</B></I>, a tantalizing lost film in which Chaney plays a detective who impersonates a vampire in order to solve a murder case. By the time Chaney and director Tod Browning collaborated on this atmospheric effort, they had already made several very successful pictures together. Film historians live in hope that a print of this long-lost classic will someday surface. Until then, we can content ourselves with beautiful lobby cards like this one, which prominently pictures Chaney as Inspector Burke. The card had pinholes in the corners and borders, as well as a couple in the image area, but professional restoration has addressed these issues nicely, making this a card that any film fan will display proudly.
