- Comments
- This was written as the theme for the 1928 MGM film "Laugh, Clown, Laugh", starring Lon Chaney. The film, however, was a silent movie so the song does not actually appear in it. It appears that the song was played before screenings of the film. In any event, the song was a hit in 1928 with multiple versions of the song being released that year.
