Elephant Man, The
Warner Home Video

Sleeve Sypnosis:
Hideously deformed at birth by a rare disease, penniless John Merrick is forced to become the star attraction in a travelling freak-show. Treves, a compassionate surgeon, rescues him from the fairground taunts, coaxing out of the terrified, disabled man a strangely sweet and touchingly human unembittered personality which made him the toast of fashionable Victorian society.
