Is this film in public domain? I ask because I'm careful about what I watch on the internet, and I only watch things if it's legal and, well, not available in my area. I could wait around until TCM might show this, but that could be very long from now.
shareI doubt it's public domain, but Netflix has it, so it's on DVD.

The 1939 film is not in public domain. The 1922 silent version with Lon Chaney is in public domain as is the original novel.
shareI don't know...but both the 1922 and the 1939 make me cry like I've never cried before... I'm sure kids these days watch Disney (I did back then too...but before colour...) My mother told me this was my favourite film when I was a kid. I'm watching it tonight and crying crying crying my eyes out... I can now see why she said I was a sensitive child!!!!
