Re:Adapted2. Lon Chaney and the Bones of AdaptationAfter last episode's summary of the novel, we've got our first adaptation--1925's Universal film starring Lon Chaney. We'll look at what elements made it to the screen, and how those elements changed due to the medium, the time, and the collaborative nature of filmmaking.
Plus, I take some potshots at a director who's been dead for decades.
