Viewing Notes
A much better set of three comes in the form of Tod Browning’s silent film The Unholy Three (1925) featuring unrivaled Lon Chaney as the primary con-artist Echo. Echo, along with a strongman and midget (Harry Earles) ultimately commit a heinous crime and place blame on an innocent. This was later remade in 1930 as a talkie only months before Chaney died. This is such an amazing & haunting film. Plus I’m a sucker for any film that has ties to the circus sideshow. Absolutely love this film!
