{"id":9839787,"uuid":"a282686d-8bc8-4ced-bfef-066f55370654","name":"London After Midnight (1927)","description":"<p>There are lost films, and then there is <em>London After Midnight<\/em>: a film whose absence has become rather more potent than its presence ever was. Released by MGM in 1927, Tod Browning\u2019s silent mystery starred Lon Chaney as Inspector Burke\u2014and, rather more memorably, as a cadaverous figure in a beaver hat, with lank black hair and a mouthful of needle-like teeth. Chaney\u2019s grotesque appearance has survived in still photographs, staring back at us like something glimpsed through the window of a house one had believed empty. The film itself has not been so fortunate. The last known print was destroyed in the catastrophic MGM vault fire of 1965, leaving behind only photographs, scripts and contemporary descriptions. Inevitably, its disappearance has transformed a moderately received melodrama into one of cinema\u2019s great phantom objects. Perhaps that is appropriate. Browning\u2019s film was concerned with deception, s\u00e9ances, murder and the return of things supposedly dead. Now the picture itself occupies that uneasy territory. We know its plot; we can reconstruct its scenes; we can even stare into Chaney\u2019s terrible, grinning face. But we cannot watch it move. And so <em>London After Midnight<\/em> survives in the most Gothic fashion imaginable: not quite dead, not quite alive, and forever waiting in the dark. Our tees are sustainably constructed from plants, not plastic, so we can begin to turn off the tap on plastic pollution. Order now with same day dispatch.<\/p>","brand":null,"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"There are lost films, and then there is London After Midnight: a film whose absence has become rather more potent than its presence ever was.
