The Man Who Laughs/YMMV


 * Adaptation Displacement: There are a number of people out there who don't even know the movie was based on a book.
 * Even more so, when you consider that Gwynplaine himself -- a wholly good character, was the inspiration for the Joker -- a wholly evil character who looks almost exactly like him.
 * Better Than Canon: The movie..
 * Tear Jerker: Where to start...? The whole damn story pretty much goes this way.
 * Ugly Cute: Gwynplaine.
 * The Woobie: Gwynplaine, Dea.
