Silent Saturday: The Penalty


1920 drama

Rating: 14/20

Plot: Lon Chaney's got no legs.

A dopey ending attempting to over-explain the main character's motivations nearly sunk this intriguing story with yet another impressive Chaney performance. He was the Daniel Day-Lewis of the 1920s, and in this movie, he actually had his legs surgically removed in order to take on the role.

I think I'd rather chop off my legs than write another blog entry. I've become extremely depressed.
