Summary:
The most celebrated and exquisitely perverse of the many collaborations between Tod Browning and his legendary leading man Lon Chaney, THE UNKNOWN features a wrenchingly physical performance from "the Man of a Thousand Faces" as the armless Spanish knife thrower Alonzo (he flings daggers with his feet) whose dastardly infatuation with his beautiful assistant (Joan Crawford)-a woman, it just so happens, who cannot bear to be touched by the hands of any man-drives him to unspeakable extremes
