The Unknown (1927) – T. Browning
AKA Alonzo the Armless. Lon Chaney is a circus performer who shoots
bullets and throws knives (at 22 year old Joan Crawford) with his feet. He
romances lovely Joan who has a pathological fear of being touched -- perfect!
But Alonzo really does have arms that he's hiding away because he is a wanted
murderer who has three thumbs. Thinking Joan would reject him if she found out
he really had arms, Alonzo does the unthinkable. And when she falls in love
with the strong man, he thinks up an ugly plot. An amazing silent spectacle of
dread.
