Tod Brownings silent movie horror film, London After Midnight (1927) starring Lon Chaney, Marceline Day, Conrad Nagel, Henry B. Walthall, and Polly Moran, has intrigued silent movie fans for decades. Now considered a lost film, surviving production stills, a Photoplay Edition novel, scripts, and other memorabilia give some feel for the actual film, but their varying plot gaps, anomalies, and inconsistencies leave viewers wondering how the actual film unfolded . . . until now. Author Thomas Mann offers a fascinating reconstruction based on his transcription of a rediscovered 11,000word fictionization first published in Boys Cinema (1928) that may resolve the conflicts between previous versions.
