Starring John Hurt.
Good film but had quite a few inaccuracies. While in the film, Treves asked about his father still being alive, Merrick's dad was not mentioned again in the film. Merrick had several younger siblings (including 3 younger half siblings) and none were mentioned in the film. I think they must have existed in the fictional film narrative but just were not mentioned as his father neglected him.
Merrick's speech in real life was nowhere near as audible as in the film, and his name was Joseph not John.
