Tod BrowningCast
Lon ChaneyPlot
A criminal in the London slums disguises himself as a priest.
Sinekatalog’s take
Tod Browning's silent melodrama stars Lon Chaney as a London crook who doubles as a crippled priest. Chaney's physical transformation and Browning's sordid atmosphere make for a lively, macabre and typically sentimental thriller.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
