Lon Chaney stars as the Great
Alonzo, a supposedly armless knife-thrower with a secret or two, including his
love for Nanon (Joan Crawford), his
assistant, who is possessed by a phobia of men’s upper extremities. Considered
to be Tod Browning’s crowning achievement and one of the premier works of the
silent era, The Unknown is a
hallucinatory parable of pent-up passions run amok that unfurls with delirious,
brute-force momentum until the very last moment—as strange and haunting today
as it was nearly a century ago. (USA, 1927,
66 mins, English | Dir. Tod Browning)
