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.
After a woman remarries, her thought-to- be-dead husband returns and blackmails her and her new husband so that they may continue to live happily ever after. Silent film.
Lon Chaney stars as Yen Sin, a Chinese laundryman struggling for acceptance in a narrow-minded, coastal fishing community. When he stumbles upon a plot to blackmail the town's minister, Yen Sin realizes that he can no longer hide in the shadows -- he must take a risk and confront the villain who threatens the village's well-being.

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!
