Mockery (1927) is an American film about the Russian Revolution starring Lon Chaney. The movie was the second film made in Hollywood by Danish director Benjamin Christensen and stars Chaney as a Siberian peasant who aids a countess (played by Barbara Bedford) who is threatened by the encroaching insurgency.
Mockery received mixed reviews when it was first released and is still regarded as one of Chaney's weaker films of his MGM period (1924-1930).
The film was thought to have been lost until the mid-1970s.George Eastman House has a print.
