The Unholy Three 1930
The Unholy Three ★★★ 1930
Chaney remade his silent hit of 1925 for his first and only talking picture (he died before the film was released). The story is essentially the same. Chaney is a ventriloquist who, with his circus friends, work as scam artists and thieves. When an innocent man is accused of their crimes Chaney tries his ventriloquist tricks to come to his aid, only in this version Chaney is ex posed as a fraud and is sent to prison. Rumors that Chaney was a mute had him agreeing to appear in a “talkie” and he actually used five different voices for his various roles. 75m/B VHS . Lon Chaney Sr., Lila Lee, Elliott Nugent, Harry Earles, John Miljan; D: Jack Conway.
