I read a scene-for-scene layout of the film and the scene of the dying black soldier in the arm of the racist white man sounded incredible. Apparently the rest of the film wasn't as powerful but this scene certainly makes me wish the film turns up.LAM probably wouldn't make my top 10 list. The hype everyone has built up over the film would only lead to disappointment even if it was a good film (which most say it wasn't). There are many other Chaney films I'd pick before this one as well. It seems the legend of LAM comes mainly from those who saw a certain picture in FM magazine. Many other silent boards don't seem to be all that impressed when they make their lists of what they want found.
