The Unholy Three Golden Silents Friday, April 17 at 7PM Browning, a onetime player at Universal who had been relegated to various struggling studios, received this macabre shot at redemption from MGM’s wunderkind production head Irving Thalberg. It became a breakout hit, released to compete with monumental silent efforts like Fred Niblo’s Ben-Hur and King Vidor’s The Big Parade and labeled “a startling original achievement,” by New York Times critic Mordaunt Hall, “which takes its place with the very best productions that have been made.” After the screening, there will be a Meet the Artist Reception in the Furman Gallery with complimentary beer, wine, soft drinks and hor d’oeuvres. This first link in a chain of Tod Browning/Lon Chaney vehicles that, to Time Out London, serves “as a source for all that is best in the horror movie” turns the Man of a Thousand Faces into a circus sideshow ventriloquist named Echo. Together with strongman Hercules (Victor McLaglen) and midget Tweedledee (Harry Earles), he hatches a devious plot to rob unwary pet owners out of their household possessions through talking parrots, cross-dressing grannies, cigar-smoking babies, the beautiful pickpocket Rosie (frequent Laurel and Hardy paramour Mae Busch), and, in the outrageous final reel, a murderous giant ape. The Unholy Three Tod Browning, USA, 1925; 87m Live guitar accompaniment by Gary Lucas. Film preservation funded by Warner Bros. and The Film Foundation. The year-round Golden Silents program is made possible through the generosity of the Ira M. Resnick Foundation.
