Remake of the Todd Browning silent movie and Chaneys last flick. Its pretty stagey and a bit forced but I so love the basic premise of the films. Chaney is amazing and I always have a soft spot for HArry Earles. A personal fave..
Weirdly I have yet to watch the original. |
I like this film too! I had recorded it off of TCM a few years ago and it was the talkie remade in 1930.
I was able to record the silent version as well.
In the talkie, Chaney while on the witness stand forgets himself and uses his real voice rather than the falsetto one of Ms. O'Grady. I always wanted to see how that come out in the silent version. But with Chaney, it comes off fine, as expected from the master.
