The Lion, the Lamb, the Man

The Lion, the Lamb, the Man is a 1914 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse, written by Tom Forman and featuring Lon Chaney and Pauline Bush. Though once believed to be lost, a shortened version of the film was preserved by the Museum of Modern Art in 2008, and was re-premiered at the 2017 Cinecon Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, California.

A nitrate print was discovered by film collector Bob Geoghegan and his Archive Film Agency in England in 2007. They loaned it to the Museum of Modern Art who made a dupe negative and a release print in 2008. The first public screening was at Cinecon in September, 2017. Though the film was originally released at 2 reels, the print that survives appears to be only 1 reel. Most of the opening footage is missing, so the film begins with Agnes already living in the Kentucky mountains. A still exists showing one of the actors in makeup as a cave man (see plot synopsis).

Co-star Millard K. Wilson and Chaney became life-long friends. Wilson worked as an assistant director on many of Chaney's later films for MGM.
