'The Man Who Laughs,' Joker and the birth of a villain
“What a lucky clown you are! You don’t have to wipe off your laugh,” one clown says to a second. This second clown, Gwynplaine, bows his head into shadows, masking the permanent grin stretched across his face in a failed attempt to convey, if not sadness, then anything other than mirth, joy, and laughter. Though often classified as a horror movie, stretches wider than that.
The specifics of the Joker’s creation, and who first came up with the idea has been hotly contested for decades. But one thing that the Joker’s credited creators, Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and Jerry Robinson, all agreed upon was that Conrad Veidt’s Gwynplaine and his rictus grin was their inspiration for the Clown Prince of Crime who made his debut inNo. 1 . Those early appearances of the Joker are unmistakably based on Gwynplaine’s look right down to the hairstyle, combed to a peak in the back.
