The Shock
The Shock ★★½ 1923
Crippled lowlife Chaney becomes restored spiritually by a smalltown girl and rebels against his Chinese boss. This causes an unfortunate string of melodramatic tragedies, including the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Silent. Odd, desultory tale with bad special effects is worth seeing for Cha ney's good acting. 96m/B VHS, DVD . Lon Chaney Sr., Virginia Valli; D: Lambert Hillyer.
