The Unholy Three

(1925)Directed by Tod Browning86 minCrime, Thriller, Drama
“A Mystery Thriller of a Giant, a Ventriloquist and a Dwarf”

Professor Echo (Lon Chaney), a sideshow ventriloquist, teams up with the strongman Hercules (Victor McLaglen) and the performer Tweedledee (Harry Earles) to pull a string of robberies. Tod Browning, working with Chaney for the first time on a film like this, keeps the plotting brisk and the faces blank. Between the schemers stands Rosie O'Grady (Mae Busch), whose pull on the Professor tangles the partnership.
