Review of Where East Is East (1929) by John M — 03 Dec 2010
Lon Chaney's final pairing with director Tod Browning isn't a masterpiece on the level of some of their other collaborations, but it's a solid silent melodrama complete with Browning's exotic atmospherics and lurid psychological subtext.
It's not as dark and twisted as their other efforts, Chaney is surprisingly subdued this time around, it's Estelle Taylor as a culturally questionable by modern standards seductress who steals the show.
