The Elephant Man

A scene which almost certainly never happened, though it might have, London actress Madge Kendal (Anne Bancroft), who did in fact take an interest in John Merrick (John Hurt, title character), pays a friendly visit, with Shakespeare, in David Lynch's The Elephant Man, 1980.

Having failed in his first attempt to see the freak-show exhibit, doctor Treves (Anthony Hopkins) returns to the corner of 1884 London where Bytes (Freddie Jones) keeps his meal ticket, John (really Joseph) Merrick (John Hurt), in David Lynch's celebrated The Elephant Man, 1980.

In his first proper social engagement, Merrick (John Hurt, title character) is introduced by doctor Treves (Anthony Hopkins) to his wife (Hannah Gordon), in 1880's London, in David Lynch's The Elephant Man, 1980, based partly on (Sir Frederick) Treves' book.

Treves (Anthony Hopkins), having gained the cooperation of John Merrick (John Hurt, title character), shows his find to a society of fellow doctors in 1884 London, later conferring with Fox (John Standing), in David Lynch's The Elephant Man, 1980.

Doctor Treves (Anthony Hopkins) has just secreted his patient Merrick (John Hurt, title character) away in his London hospital, delivering his food when he's waylaid by his boss Gomm (John Gielgud), leaving the nurse (Lesley Dunlop) at risk, in David Lynch's The Elephant Man, 1980.
