False Faces - 1919 - 6/10

After he crawls through No-Man’s Land, over barbed wire, and into the trenches, international jewel thief, now espionage agent, Lone Wolf, brings intelligence to High Command.
From there on, more spy vs spy activity as hero Henry Walthall squares off against villain Lon Chaney.
Decent production values (typical for Thomas Ince films). WWI battlegrounds, sea crossing.
Melodramatic story creaks at times, and the print I saw desperately needed restoration.
Walthall nicely underplays romantic leanings, and for Chaney fans, he commands when he is on.
