Review of The Penalty (1920) by Duncan W — 22 Sep 2008
Lon Chaney excells in yet again as Blizzard, the evil mob boss. Having suffered an accident as a child his legs are uneccesarily amputated and seeks revenge upon an unjust world because of this (it later tanspires that he has been further misdiagnosed as a child) Chaney fully transorms himself in his body language and a convincing perfomance as an amputee.
moving himself around with his sticks and arms with a great realism. its a shame that his transformation at the end is so short lived but is still a satisfying conclusion to a great film.
