Eric Bergren
Fact-based story about a woman whose life is shattered by a poetry-spouting stalker who manages to evade her police protectors.
A Victorian surgeon rescues a heavily disfigured man being mistreated by his "owner" as a side-show freak. Behind his monstrous façade, there is revealed a person of great intelligence and sensitivity. Based on the true story of Joseph Merrick (called John Merrick in the film), a severely deformed man in 19th century London.
