Description by OLDIES.com:

Lon Chaney portrays Chinese laundryman Yen Sin who is shipwrecked by a raging storm and tossed ashore in a small New England town. Sin is viewed as a heathen and treated as less-than-human by the majority of the "good Christian" town-folk. The exceptions are the minister (Harrison Ford) and a lovely young widow (Marguerite De La Motte) of a cruel fisherman. Yen Sin plays matchmaker for the young couple, and then defends them when plans of ill-intent come to light.Filmed in a period when Asian characters were only villains or comic relief, this movie dared to have an Asian protagonist. Although it was originally poorly received, it was later awarded a special commendation from the National Board of Review. Lon Chaney received international acclaim the following year for his portrayal of Quasimodo in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.

Shadows is Silent Poem of Providence Movie Lover: Wayne S from Knoxville, TN US -- May, 4, 2004

This is an amazing movie on all levels with slight scene chewing last 20 minutes. Lon Chaney gives a remarkable performance as Yin who as the "Heathen" brings harmony to the simple lives of a small New England fishing community. Watching the transformation of Lon Chaney -- you would think he was this simple peasant. Film reminds me of Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" -- how misery can bring about good. It is a treasure for your collection!
