Can't believe I watched the silent movie for an hour and 5 minutes... And enjoyed it the whole time❤. Thanks for sharing it.

I rate this a ten out of ten. Terrific movie, casting, and sets. Lon Chaney, "The Man of a Thousand Faces", and gorgeous Mary Nolan, put the icing on the cake. Thanks PF for another silent gem.

One of the greatest actors of all time! Definitely a treat to be able to watch this! 👍🏻❤️

[garryferrington]

This man may have been the greatest actor in the history of cinema. And he was even better without all the makeup!

For any serious vintage film fan i highly recommend. Chaney was in top form right here. 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥❤️

[Nalatnuom]

One of the best films I have seen in ages. Thanks for presenting it!

[VTMCompany]

Thanks for original synchonized soundtrack!

[martinepstein]

Thanks so very much for showing this rare classic. Interestingly it was Lionel Barrymore who spent much of his later life in a wheelchair due to severe arthritis and a broken hip

Another great Lon Chaney film with Tod Browning, director. Also loved Mary Nolan in her role. Amazing cast, great synchronized sound, and sets. Makes me want to rewatch all of Chaney's films. Thank you Pizzaflix!

This movie is so good! Can’t believe I’m watching it 😂👍🏽👍🏽🐶

Lon Chaney, Sr. played some of the most grotesque roles in film history, and did so incredibly well. He and Tod Browning, who later made "Freaks", made grotesque palatable to audiences with acting skill and pathos. Never hurts to have a pretty girl (Mary Nolan) in there as well, and good work from Lionel Barrymore. This is the British release, complete with the original MGM music and effects sound score.

Lon's great (as usual) and the story broke me.

[Menschenfreund]

Outstanding performances from the entire cast! Another PizzaFlix gem!

Uno dei migliori film di Lon Chaney, già maturo per l'avvento del sonoro.... Poteva dare ancora, come per John Barrymore... Anche Lionel è stato un grande attore... Grazie per la visione di questo film

Huge Lon Chaney fan, this one is a cautionary tale to remember; don't make the wrong mistake or you'll be sorry. The remake KONGO 1932 starring Walter Huston is potent stuƒƒ as well!

[dukromeo]

haha a double feature Monday - nice.
thanks Mr. PizzaFlix ☝

Thanks for the helpful comments. Always looking for good quality upload of this movie, thank you very much. Of course I’m a Chaney Browning fan. fan.

I don't think any actor played more cripples than Lon Chaney Jr - and this, Tod Browning of Freaks! Unquestionably, one of the most talented producers and directors of his day!
Lon Chaney, Sr and Lionel Barrymore - two of the greatest actors of the 20th century and cannot forget Gilbert Roland, A Tale Of Two Cities - "It is a far far better thing I do..." and beautiful Mary Nolan! If not mistaken, she was in Taming Of the Shrew with Douglas Fairbanks Sr, another silent, another great movie!
I would binge watch the silent flicks of Lon Chaney, Jr. Some of the traits of his characters are bizarre and psychological horrors filled with revenge - all the more fantastic. This is short, in comparison but none less thrilling.
Hats off, Pizza Flicks‼️ The best, yet 🎯‼️
