THE ACE OF HEARTS (1921) ** Lon Chaney is a loser anarchist
artist so madly in love with an anarchist girl that he can't see
she's in love with a different anarchist boy. His kid hasn't taught
him how to turn into a wolfman, so when the other two get married he
stands out in the storm waiting for the bedroom light to go off, rain
pouring off the brim of his hat like a rain gutter straining an
ocean. Now the anarchist girl and other anarchist boy had cared only
for The Cause, but after some good humpin' on wedding night they
entirely lose interest in it and he refuses to blow up some guy that
looks like J.P. Morgan the next morning. Naturally the other
anarchists, who mainly sit around in a room wearing suits, aren't
pleased and a number of overly wrought scenes are caused. All of the
lovers live happily ever after. Its, you know, heart is in the right
place.
