West of Zanzibar
1928|Tod Browning
Lon Chaney slithers across the floor, his legs paralyzed from a fall, his heart blackened by betrayal. Eighteen years earlier, he was Phroso the Magician, a successful performer with a beautiful wife. But she left him for another man, only to die the following year after giving birth to a daughter. He has spent every day since then setting into motion a vicious revenge on the man and child who ruined his life, and now, gazing at the hence-grown girl, his hatred boils over.
